The Fiscal Financing Agreement sets out how
Canada, British Columbia and the Nisga'a will contribute to public
services such as health care and education and will begin on the
effective date of the treaty and be renegotiated every five years.
In the first five years, B.C. will provide $1.2 million annually
and Canada will provide $30.9 million annually, with the federal
share adjusted annually for inflation and population growth. The
Nisga'a will begin to contribute after two years and will pay
a higher proportion of costs over time.
