Why does it have to be spent on an Indian reserve?   First Nations get billions of dollars every year from the Federal government  and they're already incompetent with that  money.   There is only 1.4 million Indians in Canada, how long is the Canadian taxpayer supposed to foot the bill for them?   When are they going to take responsibility for paying their own way? The 86 million could go to many other worthy endeavors other than frivolously wasting more taxpayers money on First Nations.   Let them use the billions of dollars the taxpayer gives them each year wisely first.  Lets seriously talk about a 20 year plan to wean them off of taxpayers money, so they can support themselves.    I do agree with you about "more taxpayer money down the toilet", but it would still be down the toilet if you give it to First Nations.
