participating First Nations

2 developments recorded from public sources.

  1. March 26, 2026 financial close High confidence $485 million

    The First Nations Finance Authority placed a $485-million bond issue.

    The issue expanded pooled access to long-term capital at a reported 3.99-per-cent member rate and demonstrated continued institutional demand for the FMA borrowing model.

  2. March 26, 2026 legally effective High confidence

    Bill C-15 received Royal Assent, creating the First Nations Goods and Services Tax Act framework.

    The opt-in FACT regime gives participating First Nations a legislated route to impose a five-per-cent tax on fuel, alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, and vaping products on reserve or settlement lands. It is real fiscal-jurisdiction architecture, but community laws and administration must still follow.
