Title or working title of the regulatory initiative
Order Amending the Schedule to the First Nations Fiscal Management Act
Enabling act(s)
First Nations Fiscal Management Act
Description
First Nations wishing to operate property tax regimes, obtain financial performance and financial management certification, or access a bond financing regime under the optional First Nations Fiscal Management Act, first require to be added to the schedule of the act. Upon the formal request of a First Nation's leadership, via Band Council Resolution, the department undertakes an ongoing regulatory process in order to add, change, or remove the name of the First Nation on the schedule.
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)
Given that opting into the act is made at the request of a First Nation, through resolution of its council, this initiative is not under a specific formal regulatory cooperation work plan.
Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses
There are no expected business impacts as the regulatory process only applies to First Nations. The department only undertakes a regulatory process to add, change or remove the name of the First Nation on the schedule of the act if requested by the First Nation's leadership.
Consultations
No consultation is required beyond that which may have been conducted by First Nations' leadership with their community members.
Further information
Please find further information on First Nations Fiscal Management.
