Does the quarterly report have an overall assessment of whether the federal government is meeting its contracting obligations under comprehensive land claim agreements?
A12. It is important to note that the contracting requirements for the comprehensive land claim agreements with economic chapters are unique to each agreement. The report is a major starting point, but it does not compile information on whether the federal government or particular departments or agencies are meeting their contracting obligations for particular comprehensive land claim agreements. More evaluative information will be available in the annual report on federal contracting activity in comprehensive land claim agreement areas, the first of which will be posted on October 1, 2010. For example, the annual reports will show the total value of all federal contracting activity by a department or agency in comprehensive land claim areas and indicate, as a percentage, how much of that contracting activity was awarded to comprehensive land claim agreement beneficiaries or businesses owned by comprehensive land claim agreement beneficiaries.
