Ottawa has not enforced the First Nations Financial Transparency Act since 2015, despite strong public backing — including from Indigenous Canadians
Most Canadians want the federal government to enforce laws requiring First Nations to publish their financial statements, a recent poll says.
According to polling firm Angus Reid Institute, 82 per cent of Canadians think Ottawa should require First Nation governments to report on how they spend public money — and that this requirement should be enforced. Among Indigenous survey respondents, 72 per cent said the same.
