Financing Aboriginal self-government / Vicky Barham and Robin Broadway. : Z1-1991/1-41-118E-PDF

“The purpose of this study is to investigate the forms of financing that might be made available to aboriginal governments and how the financial arrangements for aboriginal governments might be related more generally to the fiscal arrangements that exist between the federal government and the provinces and territories, and between the provinces and territories and their local governments. This is relatively uncharted territory, given the uniqueness of aboriginal governments compared with other political entities with decision making powers, and given the financial relationship that has existed to date between aboriginal communities and the federal government. As such, it is our view that it is necessary to proceed from general first principles, followed by how those principles may be applied to an aboriginal setting. The purpose will not be to come up with particular numbers or even specific formulae for determining funding. Instead, some of the important features that funding arrangements should satisfy will be stressed. In the end, much of the application of the principles will need to be implemented through negotiation among the interested parties. Those negotiations will be better informed if the principles can be agreed upon in advance"--Intro., p. 1.
