Info Source Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) Background Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada supports Aboriginal people (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) and Northerners in their efforts to:

• improve social well-being and economic prosperity; • develop healthier, more sustainable communities; and • participate more fully in Canada's political, social and economic development - to the

benefit of all Canadians. We are the federal government department with primary, but not exclusive responsibility for meeting the Government of Canada's obligations and commitments to First Nations, Inuit and Métis, and for fulfilling the federal government's constitutional responsibilities in the North. Our responsibilities are largely determined by numerous statutes, negotiated agreements and relevant legal decisions. Most of the Department's programs, representing a majority of its spending, are delivered through partnerships with Aboriginal communities and federal-provincial or federal-territorial agreements. We also support the Minister’s role as the federal government’s primary interlocutor for Métis, Non-Status Indians (many of whom live in rural areas) and urban Aboriginal people . Our mandate and wide ranging responsibilities are shaped by centuries of history, and unique demographic and geographic challenges. We are one of 34 federal departments and agencies involved in Aboriginal and northern programs and services. The department is responsible for dual mandates, Indian and Inuit Affairs, and Northern Development, which together support Canada's Aboriginal and northern peoples in the pursuit of healthy and sustainable communities and broader economic and social development objectives. Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada reports to Parliament through the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. Two annual reports to Parliament are the Report on Plans and Priorities and the Departmental Performance Report, which describe departmental priorities, expected and actual results, and associated resource allocations. (http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100010023/1100100010027) The Indian and Inuit Affairs mandate derives from the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Act (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-6/index.html), the Indian Act (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-5/index.html) and from a number of recent statutes designed to provide Aboriginal people with powers beyond the Indian Act, such as the First Nations Land Management Act and the First Nations Jurisdiction Over Education in British Columbia Act; as well as more specific statutes enabling modern treaties and self-government agreements, such as the Maanulth First Nations Final Agreement Act (S.C. 2009, c.18) and the Eeyou Marine Region Land Claims Agreement Act (S.C. 2011, c.20). AANDCs responsibilities for Indian and Inuit Affairs include, in part: funding the delivery of provincial-type services such as education, housing, community infrastructure and social support to Status Indians and other program-eligible recipients on reserves; funding to support eligible Status Indian and Inuit students in their pursuit of post-secondary education; facilitating economic development opportunities; negotiating claims and self-government agreements;

2

and addressing and resolving issues arising from the legacy of Indian residential schools; and more. From a mandate derived from an Order-in-Council, the Minister also acts as the governments primary interlocutor for Métis, Non-Status Indians and urban Aboriginal people. The responsibilities included within this role are to maintain and strengthen the Government of Canada's relations with organizations that represent Métis, Non-Status Indians and urban Aboriginal people; participate in negotiation processes with representative organizations and the provinces; and coordinate the government's Urban Aboriginal Strategy - an approach based on problem solving partnerships with provincial governments, urban Aboriginal organizations, municipalities and other federal departments. The Northern Development mandate derives from statutes enacted in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Act, 1970; from legislation enacting modern treaties north of 60°, such as the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act, or self-government agreements, such as the Yukon First Nations Self-Government Act; and from statutes dealing with environmental or resource management, and is framed by legislation that enacts the devolution of services and responsibilities from AANDC to territorial governments, such as the Canada-Yukon Oil and Gas Accord Implementation Act, the Yukon Act, the Northwest Territories Act, and the Northern Jobs and Growth Act. Responsibilities The responsibilities for Northern Development include: promoting political and economic development in Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut; negotiating the transfer of federal responsibilities for land and resource management to the territorial governments; managing the resources, land and environment in the Territories where federal responsibilities have not been transferred to territorial governments; co-ordinating initiatives, such as managing contaminated sites and subsidizing the cost of nutritious perishable food; advancing circumpolar interests, such as Canada’s Arctic sovereignty, climate change adaptation and environmental protection, Canadian representation at circumpolar forums, and scientific research related to the North; and implementing the legal obligations arising from comprehensive land claim and self government agreements, also called modern treaties. We will continue to lead and coordinate federal efforts and partnerships under the government’s integrated Northern Strategy, as well as to implement its related initiatives, such as the Canadian High Arctic Research Station.

Record Number: AANDC TAG 392 EDUCATION The Education Program contributes to The People Strategic Outcome by supporting First Nation and Inuit students in achieving educational outcomes comparable to those other Canadians. Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) has the principal role for elementary and secondary education for First Nation students ordinarily resident on-reserve. The Education program also provides financial supports for post-secondary education to eligible First Nation and Inuit students. The overarching goal of AANDC’s Education programming is to provide eligible First Nation and Inuit students with quality education, and ultimately, the opportunity to acquire the skills needed to enter the labour market and be full participants in a strong Canadian economy. ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION This sub-program supports First Nations, or designated organizations delivering First Nation education services, to provide eligible elementary and secondary on-reserve students with education services comparable to those of their provincial counterparts. Funds are allocated to pay salaries for on-reserve school teachers and other instructional services; reimburse tuition for on-reserve students who attend provincial schools; and provide student support services (e.g. transportation); and enhance education services (e.g. curriculum and language development, teacher recruitment and retention, community and parents engagement in education, and Information Communication Technology capacity). It also supports school access to resources for learners with identified high-cost special education needs. Investments are also made to support longer-term improvements in education outcomes by implementing school success plans, student learning assessments, and school performance measurement systems; and by advancing existing tripartite education partnerships with First Nations, provinces and the Government of Canada. The goals are to increase students’ achievement levels in reading, writing and mathematics; encourage students to remain in school (student retention); require schools to conduct student learning assessments, and put in place performance measurement systems that allow schools to assess, report on, and take steps to accelerate progress made by schools and students. In addition, the Elementary and Secondary Education sub-program also supports culturally appropriate education activities through the cultural education centers, and provides supports for First Nations and Inuit youth to transition to post-secondary education and the workplace.

Given the nature of these developments, multiple federal departments and agencies have an interest and role with respect to their planning and implementation. There are more than twenty federal departments and agencies delivering programs and services that support Aboriginal economic development. To access support, communities must therefore work with several federal partners each with differing programs, application requirements and approval processes, thereby inhibiting a coordinated, timely and strategic approach to Aboriginal community participation. Recognizing the need to support community participation at the early stages of these developments, the program provides a mechanism for federal partners to collectively identify emerging opportunities, target investment decisions and streamline program application and approval processes. In doing so, the initiative also helps to build closer partnerships with non-federal partners, including provincial and territorial governments, the private sector and Aboriginal communities. The Aboriginal Economic Development Strategic Partnerships Initiative contributes to The Land and economy Strategic Outcome by aligning federal efforts, leveraging investments from other levels of government and the private sector,

45

and addressing gaps in programming to ensure that Aboriginal Canadians can participate in and benefit from priority regional opportunities and major resource developments.
