History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indigenous Affairs | This program | 2018-19 – 2028-29 | $42.3M |
No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.

| Report year | Target | Due | Result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2023-24 | ≥ 100% | 2024 | 63% Several Cabinet submissions were not assessed for modern treaty implications due to the nature of the projects; a subsequent review confirmed the submissions did not have modern treaty implications.

| 2024-25 | ≥ 100% | 2025 | 62.5% The target was not met due to several Cabinet submissions not being initially assessed for modern treaty implications, given the nature of the projects.

Efforts are ongoing to streamline processes and strengthen compliance to improve future results. | Not met |
