VANCOUVER—While federal spending on Indigenous affairs has almost tripled since 2015, the uptick in Indigenous living standards is due primarily to the Canada Child Benefit, an unrelated federal program for families with children, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“Because Indigenous people generally have lower incomes and more children than other Canadians, they gain more from Ottawa’s Canada Child Benefit program,” said Tom Flanagan, senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of An Avalanche of Money: The Federal Government’s Policies Toward First Nations.
