137 3 Message from the Chairperson On behalf of the National Indigenous Economic Development Board (NIEDB), I’m pleased to share the following report detailing Government of Canada actions in relation to the recommendations contained within the 2019 edition of the Indigenous Economic Progress Report1. [...] Comprised of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis community and business leaders from across the country, the National Board plays an important role in helping the federal government develop and reform policies to better respond to the unique needs of Indigenous communities. [...] • At Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Indigenous Commercial Fisheries programs have contributed to the employment of over 3,330 Indigenous Peoples and the Fisheries Management Programs have contributed to the employment of over 1,600 Indigenous people. [...] For First Nations on reserve, 81.9% of the population is in the bottom half of the distribution of total income for all Canadians while 67.9% of First Nations off reserve are in the bottom half of the distribution of total income for all Canadians. [...] NIEDB COMMENTARY The NIEDB is interested in learning more in relation to the user experience study, the design challenge, and the National Outcome-Based Framework, and to providing advice and guidance to those officials leading such processes.
