He noted the standard model for a First Nation in Canada to carry on a for-profit business is with the use of a limited partnership, adding many variations of the model exist, but all have the First Nations as a limited power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese limited partnerships operate for-profit businesses in all part of the Canadian economy including forestry, mining, manufacturing, construction and consumer sales,\u201d Vidal wrote. \u201cThese businesses are the life-blood of First Nations communities providing jobs, support for community programming and a foundation on which to build future prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his riding, Vidal mentioned First Nations-led businesses provide hundreds of well-paying jobs. He wrote the effect of the COVID-19 crisis on these companies is even more significant than those in the general Canadian economy.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parallax-breakout\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-sidebar-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sc-content\">\n<article class=\"mainArticle\">Meadow Lake Tribal Council Industrial Investments would also like to see changes to the subsidy program. He wrote the exclusion of First Nations limited partnerships causes disproportionate harm to the First Nations business community across Canada.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container \">\u00a0\u201cIf First Nations businesses through their limited partnership model are in fact excluded from the benefits of the emergency wage subsidies, it can only be because of an oversight in the creation of these important wage subsidy programs,\u201d Balisky said. \u201cThis issue must be addressed immediately so First Nations can make plans today for the retention and hiring of employees during the coming weeks and months.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taken from: meadowlakeNOW Desneth\u00e9-Missinippi-Churchill River MP Gary Vidal is calling on the federal government to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,4,5],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Vidal calls for more support for First Nations-owned businesses &ndash;
