For the First Nations Financial Management Board (FNFMB), this paper proposes that the federal government continue financing the First Nations Financial Management Board and the First Nations Finance Authority. [...] The first is that the federal government ought to finance the cost of outside consultants that First Nations have to bring in to obtain ISO certification. [...] This Liberal-initiated paper proposed to change the relationship between First Nations and the Canadian state and to move First Nations closer to the mainstream. [...] The first is the First Nations Land Management Act (FNLMA), a regime where signatory First Nations are able to opt out of the land-management sections of the Indian Act and establish their own rules for managing their land and resources. [...] The certification that the FNFMB provides to First Nations is for facilitating their borrowing membership in the FNFA and securing a specific loan from the FNFA.
