The Fiscal Financing Agreement, signed in May 2000, is a side agreement to the Nisga'a Final Agreement. It outlines the contributions of Canada, British Columbia and Nisga'a to public services over a five-year period. In exchange for the provision of stipulated services relating to health care, social services, education and local programs, the Nisga'a Nation will receive an annual contribution of $1.2 million from British Columbia and $30.9 million from the Canadian Government (adjusted annually). After two years, Nisga'a will contribute funds and this proportion will increase over time.
