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.

This project aims to develop the ability of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and related trade-support institutions in developing countries to pursue export opportunities in Canada. Components of the project specifically targets developing countries with which Canada has negotiated, or is negotiating, free trade agreements in order to help them to benefit from these new agreements. Through SME-led job creation, this project also contributes to reducing poverty in developing countries.
Project activities include: (1) providing Canadian market trade information and online Services by producing information papers, website content with import/export product offers, market entry studies, e-bulletin; (2) providing Canadian market access services and Trade Support Institution capacity building in 25 priority countries through sector specific training on market access to Canada; and (3) providing Canadian market access services for up to 8 of the Least Developed Countries in the garment sector and to trade agreement developing country partners to Canada.
