Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Organized by SEDS Canada, the Canadian Stratospheric Balloon Experiment Design Challenge (CAN-SBX) is a national competition for Canadian post-secondary students to design and test a small scientific experiment to fly on board a high-altitude balloon provided by the Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES) in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Two winning teams were selected by SEDS Canada to attend the 2019 CAN-SBX launch campaign in Timmins, Ontario in August 2019 and to test their experiments. Students who participated in this event were given a unique opportunity to work alongside scientists and engineers from Canada and Europe while gaining valuable hands-on experience with launch operations, technology testing and data analysis. This grant provided financial support to the student for her travel and living expenses associated with the launch campaign.

The availability of high-speed Internet, including in the underserved areas of Canada's northern and rural regions, will be greatly improved with proposed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) communications satellites. These satellites will use wider bandwidth radio signals than existing geosynchronous satellites, in a challenging environment that includes additive white noise, time-varying path delay, loss and Doppler frequency shift, and other propagation effects.
The objective of the project is to design and implement a platform that simulates LEO satellite channel impairments, as seen by a terminal frequently switching between satellites in order to maintain a communications path. By emulating the effects on the wideband radio signals, the satellite radio test system will allow developers to test their technologies under realistic conditions in a controlled lab environment before launch. The test platform will ensure that solutions providing broadband services to a large number of users are reliable, and capable of meeting the demanding requirements for applications such as remote backhaul, secure low latency end-to-end communications, and high-speed Internet access.

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are used for many types of missions that involve science, Earth observation, communication, and more. An important part of a satellite's data management system is the Payload Control Unit (PCU). Used by commercial, government, and space agency customers, the market for low-cost, high-performance satellite technology is growing.
This project will test the ability of a new type of low-cost PCU based on a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product to stand up to the harsh environment of space on long missions in high-LEO (in the exosphere). The result will be a component that can be produced quickly and scaled to meet large customer demands. Producing low-cost, high-performance, space-ready PCUs will allow Canadian industry to meet the needs of new markets and retain experts in small satellite technology. It will also lead to a better understanding of environmental issues and improved security and monitoring of our coastlines and waters.
