What would happen if a regulation made under FNCIDA conflicted with another federal regulations that applied on reserve lands, or with a law of the First Nation?
A number of federal regulations, including regulations made under the Indian Act, apply to reserve lands. FNCIDA specifies that regulations made under other federal Acts prevail over FNCIDA regulations to the extent that any conflict or inconsistency arises, unless the FNCIDA regulations provide otherwise. FNCIDA also specifies that FNCIDA regulations prevail over a First Nation’s laws (including by-laws) to the extent that any conflict or inconsistency arises, unless the FNCIDA regulations provide otherwise.
