What it does

This Program contributes to the development of strong First Nations governance and capacity and provides them with options to exercise jurisdiction, control and management over their own affairs and resources and pursue economic development activities.

With the support of Indigenous institutional partners (Lands Advisory Board, First Nation Land Management Resource Centre), CIRNAC continues to remove barriers for First Nations that decide to opt-out of sections of the Indian Act relating to land management and participate in alternative legislative regimes to exercise their own jurisdiction and lawmaking authority. CIRNAC and Indigenous institutions are working together with First Nations to develop the tools they need to drive local economic development, empower their communities, and promote prosperity.

CIRNAC , in collaboration with First Nations-led institutions (First Nations Tax Commission, First Nations Financial Management Board, First Nations Finance Authority, and First Nations Infrastructure Institute), is providing legislative and institutional frameworks for First Nation’s jurisdiction over local taxation, financial management, and infrastructure, as well as provides First Nations with access to long-term and affordable financing. Through this approach, the Program affirms the inherent right of Indigenous Peoples to make decisions about their development, thereby contributing to Indigenous self-determination.
