Canada's Self-Government Fiscal Policy

In order to support self-governing within Indigenous communities/governments, the federal government has co-developed a fiscal policy, which only applies to Indigenous groups that have self-governing arrangements and the policy takes over any previous federal policies that conflicts with this one.
The policy is the framework for fiscal arrangements, which outline the funding transfers between the Government of Canada and Indigenous governments and it is meant to support the activities of the Indigenous governments for its members.
