The Inuit Crown Partnership Committee (ICPC) will also receive
ongoing funding, as will the Permanent Bilateral committees
established with the First Nations, and Métis.
“Budget 2018 proposes to invest $74.9-million over five years,
with $15.5-million per year ongoing, to provide support to these
policy co-development forums.” Through Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami,
Makivik participates in the ICPC process.
ITK President Natan Obed commented on the Inuit funding. He
said, “I am hopeful that the proposed allocations directly to Inuit,
especially in the area of housing, become an established precedent
for future budgets.”
The chapter devoted to Indigenous Peoples also contains
provisions to recognize Indigenous Rights, and assist in “reconstituting
their nations”. Over the next two years, $51.4 million is allotted to
support federal and Indigenous participation in the “Recognition
of Indigenous Rights and Self-Determination discussion tables.”
Meanwhile, $101.5-million will be earmarked over the next five years
for Indigenous Peoples “to support activities that would facilitate
their own path to reconstituting their nations.”
There’s also $47.5-million over five years, and $9.5-million ongoing
to expand the use of sport for social development in more than 300
Indigenous communities. The budget document states, “Communityled
sport can be a powerful tool to support Indigenous youth. It
promotes social inclusion, builds self-esteem, strengthens Indigenous
identity, instills a sense of pride and reduces the risks of suicide.”
The entire 2018 federal budget, titled Equality and Growth:
A Strong Middle Class is 369 pages long and is available online at
