Carolane Gratton, a spokesperson for Indigenous Services Canada , said in a Dec. 3 email to that the department had removed 118 businesses from the list as of Nov. 29.

Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu previously told the House Government Operations Committee that 1,100 businesses were removed from the IBD in 2022 'as part of a cleanup of businesses that were registered before 2019.' Hajdu said the department examines the Indigeneity of businesses every two years as they “transform quite a bit in between audits.
