Dear John,

A new Fraser Institute study out today looks at a topic that has been in the news a lot lately – federal spending on Indigenous programs.

It finds that since 2015, federal spending on Indigenous programs has skyrocketed from $12.4 billion to $24 billion for fiscal year 2021/22.

In other words, Indigenous federal spending increased by 94.3% since 2015.

The study also found that settlements of legal claims have helped drive recent spending increases – at least $3.2 billion in fiscal 2021/22 alone!

Check out the full study here [[link removed]], and make sure to share it with anyone else who might find it interesting.

Stay safe,

Niels Veldhuis

President

STAY UP TO DATE
