Sure. The first nations and Inuit policing program was designed in 1991 and amended slightly in 1996. The program has mainly two funding mechanisms. In tripartite agreements, the federal government will come together with the province or territory and an indigenous community to provide supplemental services to core policing services that might already be provided in the province or territory. Under that agreement, the RCMP will be the service provider and provide the policing services.
The second major agreement would be a self-administered agreement. The federal government and the provincial government come together with a community, but the funding goes to an indigenous or Inuit police service itself. It's the community itself that is providing the police service. It's a cost-sharing program, which means the federal government brings 52% of the funding to the table while the province or territory will typically bring about 48%. The way it's set up is that even if the federal government increases its funding available to these agreements, the province or territory needs to find its share in order for more money to be funnelled to communities.
That's a quick overview of how it's structured.
