CDEV Job Board
Executive Assistant
Description
Organizational Profile
The launch of the federal Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program (ILGP) moves Indigenous economic reconciliation from discussion to action. This historic milestone makes participation in Canada's economic prosperity a reality for the country's Indigenous Peoples. It removes some of the historic barriers to Indigenous economic growth while creating new possibilities that will benefit the entire country. The economic success of Indigenous Peoples is the success of all Canadians.
ILGP is a signature federal initiative of $10 billion in loan guarantees to support Indigenous equity ownership in major projects across Canada. It addresses long-standing financial barriers to the participation of Indigenous groups in major projects and allows them to become commercial partners on their traditional territory.
ILGP is delivered by Canada Indigenous Loan Guarantee Corporation (CILGC), which is a subsidiary of Canada Development Investment Corporation (CDEV), a federal Crown corporation that manages critical financial transactions for the Government of Canada. CILGC is responsible for engaging with eligible applicants, conducting due diligence, negotiating agreements, issuing loan guarantees, and monitoring its portfolio in a commercial manner.
