What it does
The main purpose of "Contributions for the purpose of consultation and policy development" is to provide support to Indians, Inuit and Innu so that CIRNAC may obtain their input on all policy and program developments. Through funding under this authority, Indians, Inuit and Innu will be consulted on key program and policy developments. CIRNAC will, in recognition of its priorities and consistent with its strategic outcomes, allocate these funds to its various programs and regions who will negotiate contributions to eligible recipients. These contributions are intended to enable recipients to provide input in relation to specific program and policy development initiatives of CIRNAC. This funding authority furthers the departmental objective of improving the quality of life and fostering self-reliance for First Nations, Inuit and Northerners by supporting Indians, Inuit and Innu to consult their communities and be in a position to provide input to the department on departmental priorities and strategic outcomes.
