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.

13SSTGHGSA: This project entitled «GHGSat-D ADCS Panning Mode» has the objective(s) :
The primary objective of the project is the development of the ADCS Panning Mode of the GHGSat-D satellite with a planned launch date in the second half of 2015. ""Panning mode"" is a spacecraft attitude control mode that is required for GHGSat-D payload observations. Panning mode is similar to a ground target tracking mode in that both modes aim to control the spacecraft attitude with respect to fixed locations on the Earth's surface. In target tracking mode the aim is to keep the ground target stationary in the instrument field of view (“FOV”), ideally at the centre of the image. In Panning mode, the goal is to have the target pass through the FOV within a predefined duration, passing from one side of the image to the other while passing as close as possible to the centre of the FOV in the process. The University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies – Space Flight Laboratory (“UTIAS-SFL”) will design and develop the panning mode; the design will then be simulated in a lab environment by UTIAS-SFL and Xiphos Systems Corporation (“Xiphos”) to attain TRL 4.
