Budget Speech 2017 Partnering with First Nations on Tobacco In the 2016 Budget, the government reiterated its commitment to a dialogue with First Nation communities and leaders on tobacco and gasoline. The government remains committed to this dialogue and has been meeting with numerous First Nation communities including working closely with the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation on pilot projects supporting self-regulation of tobacco on-reserve and revenue-sharing, as well as with the Anishinabek Nation on a framework for tobacco and gasoline. Working together towards community-based regulation of gasoline and tobacco provides a basis for mutually beneficial outcomes for the Province and First Nation communities. This cooperation builds relationships and trust, supports economic development and diversification of First Nation communities, and improves business certainty for on-reserve sales. It also demonstrates the commitment set out in the Political Accord to collaborate on shared priorities in a spirit of respectful co-existence. As part of this dialogue with First Nation communities across Ontario, the government is discussing sharing a portion of provincial tobacco tax revenues with communities that agree to regulate tobacco sales on-reserve. The government is prepared to collaborate with First Nations on amendments to the Tobacco Tax Act and other pieces of legislation to support effective coordination and integration of provincial legislation with First Nation tobacco laws in the future.
Budget Speech 2017 Protecting Sensitive and Confidential Information Indigenous communities often share sensitive information with the Province and municipalities for a variety of reasons, such as facilitating resource management discussions, designing consultation processes, and negotiating land claim settlements and other agreements. To protect this information, the Province is proposing legislative amendments to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Amendments to these Acts would enable Provincial and municipal institutions to protect from disclosure information received in confidence from Indigenous communities, or information reasonably expected to prejudice the conduct of relations between institutions and Indigenous communities. These changes are an important step toward facilitating open discussions that will strengthen relationships while enhancing Provincial and municipal efforts to engage with Indigenous communities as full partners.
