Special Series: Fiscal Federalism in Canada
This article is part of a special series of reflections on contemporary Canadian fiscal federalism. The pieces in this series are inspired by the discussion and debate at the April 2021 Fiscal Federalism in Canada Conference, organized by the University of Ottawa Centre on Governance in partnership with the Forum of Federations.

In Canada, the constitutional allocation of powers gives federal and provincial governments the most important and broad-based sources of taxation. As a result, the federal and provincial governments are the most influential and studied players in the arena—but they are not alone. It was, therefore, interesting to see speakers highlight the importance of actors such as Indigenous peoples and municipal governments at the Fiscal Federalism in Canada Conference’s second panel on Emerging Issues. Dr. Donna Feir highlighted the history of Indigenous-Canada relations, and how federal commitment to Indigenous reconciliation is creating space for First Nations to gain more fiscal powers in the Canadian federation. Dr. Enid Slack pointed out that cities are a forgotten partner of the federal system, with increasing roles in tackling issues. Finally, Dr. Steve Pomeroy discussed the important role of regional/local governments and organizations in addressing social housing issues. The federal and provincial orders of government have exclusive jurisdiction over most sources of revenue and the greatest spending power, so they are often the focus of discussions on fiscal federalism in Canada [i]. This panel was a great exploration of the important roles of actors beyond provincial-federal governments in the federation.
