About the program

The objective of this funding program is to provide First Nations with financial assistance to support them in researching, developing and submitting their claims to be considered under the Specific Claims Policy and Process Guide.

Under the section Advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, Budget 2019 committed $8 million of additional funding per year over 5 years to help First Nations research and develop their specific claims, on top of the $4 million per year of ongoing funding. The Government of Canada has recently announced a two-year extension of the additional funding, bringing the total budget envelope to $12 million in fiscal years 2024 to 2025 and 2025 to 2026.
