Information to assist you when applying to the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada -
Aboriginal Business Development Program
1. The Aboriginal Business Development Program supports opportunities that help Aboriginal firms grow in regional,
national or international economies. Before completing your Business Proposal Form, we strongly recommend that you
refer to the literature available from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada so that you can discuss your
project in detail.
Information materials are available at each of the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada delivery offices
listed on the previous page or on-line at http://aandc-aadnc.gc.ca/eng/11001000331.
Note: This material is provided for information purposes only. Specific questions concerning eligibility and program
criteria should be discussed with a development officer.
2. In order to determine eligibility, and to assess your request for financial assistance, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern
Development Canada is authorized to collect limited personal information, including the following:
We require documented proof of Aboriginal heritage of applicants for the program.
We collect the gender of applicants for statistical purposes only, to allow us to report on the demographics of our
client base.
We collect the date of birth of applicants for statistical purposes and to facilitate the completion of a credit check that
may be required as part of our assessment.
We collect the education/experience of applicants to help us assess their collective business and management
experience.
We collect personal financial information of applicants to help us assess their ability to contribute capital and obtain
commercial funding.
All information provided as part of this business proposal is subject to the provisions of the Access to Information Act
and Privacy Act, and will be treated accordingly.
All personal information collected will be retained for five years from the project completion date and transferred to
National Archives of Canada for selective retention. To access your information, please contact us.
3. If your project is approved for a financial contribution from the Aboriginal Business Development Program, it may be
subject to the Government of Canada's proactive disclosure reporting requirements. This means that certain
information about your authorized contribution (excluding any information for which disclosure would be prohibited
under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act) could be posted on the Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada's
external Web site. Please speak to a development officer for more information.
4. Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada and its clients are required to adhere to the provisions of the
federal Lobbyists Registration Act.
For example:
No contribution may be offered to an applicant that, for the purposes of his/her/its application for financial assistance,
has retained a lobbyist that is not compliant with the Lobbyists Registration Act.
No contribution may be offered to an applicant that has retained a lobbyist for commission, contingency fee or any
other consideration that is dependent upon the execution of the Agreement.
For the purposes of these requirements, three categories of the lobbyists are defined:
consultant lobbyists paid to lobby on behalf of a client, e.g., government relations consultants, lawyers, accountants
or other professionals who provide lobbying services for their clients.
in-house lobbyists employed by persons (including corporations) and partnerships that carry on commercial activities
for financial gain.
in-house lobbyists employed by non-commercial organizations such as advocacy groups, and industry, professional
and charitable organizations.
Please note that all lobbyists must register with the Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists.
The examples cited above illustrate the kinds of issues involved, but do not cover all of the requirements. For additional
information and to ensure compliance, please speak to a development officer, or visit the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of
Canada at http://ocl-cal.gc.ca/epic/site/lobbyist-lobbyiste1.nsf/en/home.
