The Yukon First Nations Procurement Policy, unveiled on Friday, aims to bolster economic opportunities for First Nations people. It aims for at least 15 per cent of all territorial government procurement contracts to go to Yukon First Nations' businesses. Premier Sandy Silver said this will "level the playing field" and advance reconciliation. Yukon First Nations' businesses will have a greater advantage based on how much of the business is owned by or employs First Nations people. A business will also have an edge if it's located on First Nations territory outside Whitehorse.
