From Participation to Ownership: Where Indigenous Equity in Canada Is Heading
From Drumbeats - Canadian Indigenous Investment Podcast · 34:59
Show by Canadian Indigenous Investment Forum
Colby Delorme says some First Nations in Canada are approached with a new deal every day and can be given as little as three to eight weeks to assess it. In Part 2, the President of the Imagination Group of Companies sets out how nations decide which partnerships to pursue.He describes the signals a nation reads in a first meeting, why engagement should begin at the planning stage, and why he expects Indigenous participation to move towards ownership, with risk, profit and decision-making shared.Asked what would most surprise a sponsor or lender in London or Frankfurt, Colby points to the time horizon. Many joint venture organisations look to an exit five to ten years out. A rare earth minerals project may be planned to supply the world for 50 or 100 years, and the nation hosting it weighs the lasting impacts and opportunities across that life.He also traces many of today’s greatest issues back to governance, from First Nations to global corporations.Part 1 covers the scale of Indigenous equity deals in Canada, how nations are financing their stakes, and who holds the liability on large projects.
