Advocates denounce plan to cut federal Indigenous services budget

Cutting billions of dollars from the Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) budget could worsen the quality of essential programs and may spark lawsuits that would cost Ottawa more money in the long term, some Indigenous advocates say. The warning comes in response to an internal government email sent last week confirming Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal government has asked ISC, like other departments, to cut planned spending by up to 15 per cent over three years. That's cause for alarm, according to children's advocate Cindy Blackstock, particularly because Carney has said areas like provincial health-care transfers or individual benefits like pensions will be protected but never offered that guarantee for services to Indigenous peoples. "It really has a smack of almost racist fiscal policy if you're willing to preserve transfers to non-Indigenous governments, but put the ones for First Nations subject to cuts," said Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society. "First Nations are already experiencing significant shortfalls in a lot of budget areas and hardships that aren't experienced by others in the country." CBC Indigenous contacted Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne's office for a response to this but a spokesperson referred questions to ISC. In a statement last week, ISC said it "remains committed to reconciliation and effective service for Indigenous Peoples." As for details, in its internal July 8 email the department said the review "will involve difficult decisions that will impact our programs and activities, as well as our workforce." Blackstock, who has spent years at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to reverse chronic federal program underfunding, said direct line services to First Nations seem to be on the chopping block and could present a prime target in the government-wide review. ISC is the second biggest-spending federal department, with an estimated budget of $25.2 billion this fiscal year, surpassed only by the Department of National Defence. But ISC's planned budget is already forecast to decrease by about $5 billion through 2027-28. If Ottawa were to cut another 10 per cent from that year's planned budget of $20.1 billion, it could mean another reduction of $2 billion on top of that. "Those are very devastating numbers," said Lori Idlout, NDP MP for Nunavut and the party's Indigenous Affairs critic. She said Indigenous Peoples often face already substandard services compared to other Canadians, as well as long delays, greater need, backlogs and other struggles. "I think what we'll end up seeing is Indigenous Peoples suing the federal government for not meeting its legal obligations," Idlout said. "And so if these cuts are pursued, I think that it will end up costing the federal government even more, maybe even tenfold, over the long run." 'Significant pressure' to show programs are working Carney campaigned on a pledge to rein in public spending, but in Idlout's view his Liberals "very much imitate Conservative values," so much so that she's begun heckling them both in the House of Commons as a "Liberal-Conservative coalition." "These kinds of cuts, if they do happen, will be detrimental. They remind me of the cuts that Stephen Harper had made," she said. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC), which advocates for 63 First Nations, said the spending cuts present a "troubling contradiction" and a "disturbing truth." "Canada extracts wealth from our lands and territories, transfers those resources to the provinces, and First Nations are left out entirely," said AMC Grand Chief Kyra Wilson in a statement on Monday. "We don't see a share of those dollars, then Canada turns around and cuts our program funding to balance its budgets." Sahir Khan, co-founder and executive vice-president at the Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy at the University of Ottawa, said ISC "will be an important part" of the spending review. He noted Carney's priorities of sovereignty and the economy stand in contrast to the Trudeau government's social policy agenda. "In this context, ISC's actions and choices in the review will have to ensure the federal government's constitutional obligations and court orders arising from them, for example, from the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, are upheld," he said in an email. "However, there will be significant pressure on the department to demonstrate that grants and contributions are driving results. Accountability and structure will matter as much as funding levels and maybe more." There "will be significant pressure on the departmental operating budget" as well, he added. According to its latest plan, ISC has a planned budget for internal services of more than $350 million this year. In other words, ISC may be pressed to show its programs are having the desired effect. ISC's official mandate involves transferring service delivery responsibilities to First Nations, yet the department has only grown since its creation.

Province refuses to consider letting OPP replace Sault police

Sault Ste. Marie must keep its police service, the Solicitor General's office says. Council sought had OPP cost estimates amid rising policing expenses. Ontario's solicitor general won't be providing the city with a plan to replace the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service with Ontario Provincial Police. The city requested a policing resource plan from the province in May, when it emerged that city police were running a significant budget deficit. Sault police services cruiser Sault police services cruiser The police service said in April that a year-end review revealed a $2.9 million deficit in 2024. And the 2025 budget is already headed for a $1.9 million shortfall. However, the province said the city should work with its existing police force. 'The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service stands out as a leading example in northern Ontario and I am proud of the dedication its frontline officers have shown in serving and protecting their community for more than 150 years,' Minister Michael Kerzner said in the letter. 'I believe the service remains well-positioned to continue delivering effective, community-based policing to the residents of Sault Ste. Marie ... I have directed the OPP commissioner not to provide the Sault Ste. Marie municipal council with an OPP policing resource plan.' As a result, a staff report said council has to focus on working with city police. City staff is working with the police services board on adopting recommendations from KPMG, which did a review of police operations. Sault Ste. Marie Police Skyrocketing costs The goal is 'to improve communication and collaboration between the city and Sault Ste. Marie Police Services, particularly between the finance and human resources departments of the respective organizations,' the report said. The city will also continue to advocate for more policing funds as costs continue to skyrocket. 'Since 2019, the actual percentage increase for community policing costs has increased 52 per cent,' the report said. 'The Consumer Price Index increase over the same period was 18.9 per cent. This level of increase is unsustainable for a municipality to absorb with current financial resources. The 2024 BMA Municipal Study indicated Sault Ste. Marie has the highest net policing costs per capita for communities with a population between 30,000-99,000.' Read the full report here. At the police services board, meanwhile, chair John Bruno and vice-chair Ian MacKenzie resigned July 11. They were replaced by Nuala Kenny as the new chair while Mayor Matthew Shoemaker is the news vice-chair.

Cabinet to meet Tuesday as Trump says 35% tariff letter is ‘the deal'

Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet with his cabinet tomorrow, as President Donald Trump says his letters threatening upwards of 35 per cent tariffs to Carney, and other leaders are 'the deals.' The president sent Carney a letter late last week saying Canada will face a 35 per cent tariff rate after Aug. 1, while other letters Trump shared over the weekend only talk about a 30 per cent tariff with Mexico and the European Union. Last week, Carney said the government has 'steadfastly' defended Canadian workers and businesses at the negotiating table in a social media statement. Fen Hampson, an international affairs professor at Carleton University, says that Carney should keep his head down and focus on talks with American officials instead of Trump. Hampson says Trump can be unpredictable, but he and officials are likely to respond to domestic pressures brought on by high tariffs rates. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. White House officials have said that the 35 per cent tariff rate would apply to areas that aren't compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico agreement, which are already tariffed at 25 per cent. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 14, 2025.
