Comment(s) on Variance(s): The difference between planned spending and total authorities primarily reflects additional funding provided through supplementary estimates/Governor General's Special Warrants for the First Nations Finance Authority and for the implementation of several Yukon self-government agreements, as well as the realignment of program-specific support funding from the Internal Services program activity.

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Transfer Payments for Co-operative Relationships
Start Date: N/A
End Date: Ongoing
Description: This program activity addresses constitutional and historic obligations, reduce conflict through negotiation and enable all parties to work together toward reconciliation. Co-operative Relationships are about mutual respect. They establish an atmosphere of trust, accountability and respectful partnerships among governments, First Nations and Inuit. This atmosphere, in turn, supports social, economic and cultural growth in First Nation and Inuit communities and increases their self-reliance. Co-operative Rrelationships are the basis for mutually reached resolution of claims and other rights issues. Through Co-operative Relationships, land claims and self-government agreements are negotiated and implemented, treaty relations between the Crown and First Nations are clarified and supported, certainty is obtained over the ownership, use, and management of land and resources, and Inuit are effectively represented in federal policy decisions.

Comment(s) on Variance(s): The difference between planned spending and total authorities primarily reflects the reduced funding requirements for the implementation of treaty land entitlements in Saskatchewan. The difference between total authorities and actual spending also reflects the deferral of activities associated with the implementation of treaty land entitlements in Saskatchewan. Specifically, payments to the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities and to the Province of Saskatchewan, Ministry of Education, to compensate for the loss of their tax base as a result of the settlement of treaty lands are not required in 2010-2011 due to delays in the transfer of lands to reserve status; this deferred funding that was not required in 2010-2011 has been reprofiled to 2011-2012, when it will be available for the intended purpose.

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Transfer Payments for First Nations Governance Over Land, Resources and the Environment
Start Date: N/A
End Date: Ongoing
Description: The overall program framework for the assumption of governance responsibility of First Nations is composed of several programs which may act either as an incremental process toward self-government or as individual, discrete, optional programs which that First Nations may select and opt into.

The Regional Land Administration Programs (RLAPs) involve the delegation of some Ministerial authorities that allow First Nations to act on their own behalf. First Nation Land Management (FNLM) offers First Nations the opportunity to assume full control over their land, transferring from the Indian Act to an individual land code.

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Transfer Payments for Northern Land and Resources
Start Date: N/A
End Date: Ongoing
Description: This program activity supports the sustainable development and regulatory oversight of the land and natural resources of the North. Oil and gas development, including offshore projects, as well as the management of mines and mineral activity are facilitated. Improved environmental management and stewardship is promoted through the continued development of the Northern regulatory regime. The identification and clean-up of contaminated sites improves environmental conditions, while the development of Arctic science and the increase to the knowledge base through, among others, the activities of the International Polar Year, helps in the development of strategies in response to the challenges of climate change and adaptation. The concerns and issues of climate change are addressed in the interests of maintaining sustainable Aboriginal and Northern communities.

Comment(s) on Variance(s): The difference between planned spending and total authorities primarily reflects the transfer of funding through supplementary estimates to other government departments to support activities related to the Arctic Research Infrastructure Fund. The difference between total authorities and actual spending primarily reflects the deferral of projects under the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan; this deferred funding that was not required in 2010-2011 has been reprofiled to 2011-2012, when it will be available for the intended purpose.

Start Date: N/A
End Date: Ongoing
Description: This program activity helps respond to the needs of Aboriginal people living in urban centres. It promotes the self-reliance and economic participation of urban Aboriginal people and expands their life choices. Through the Urban Aboriginal Strategy (UAS), the federal government partners with other governments, community organizations and Aboriginal people to support (financially and through other means) projects that respond to local priorities.

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Transfer Payments for Métis and Non-Status Indian Organizational Capacity Development
Start Date: N/A
End Date: Ongoing
Description: This program activity is carried out by the Office of the Federal Interlocutor, the Government of Canada's principal point of contact for Métis and non-status Indian organizations, and an advocate within government on their key issues. The main mandate of the Office is to support (financially and through other means) the work of these organizations, and help find practical ways to reduce dependency and improve the self-reliance, and social and economic conditions of Métis, non-status Indians (MNSI) and off-reserve Aboriginal people. The Office fulfills this mandate by helping Métis and non-status Indian organizations develop their organizational and professional capacity, so that they can build effective partnerships with federal and provincial governments, and the private sector.
