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.

Minding the Gap: Understanding Women’s Deployment in Military Operations
Funding from the Defence Engagement Program will support the research design consisting of focus groups to probe women’s decision-making process and experiences during operations, as well as a half-day policy Working Group. In doing so, this design will contribute to a larger project, responding to the question, “what are the factors that influence the deployment rates of women in NATO operations?” and, “do institutional barriers hinder women’s deployment more than variables like self-selection?”.

Gender and Security from the Bottom Up
The Women in International Security (WIIS)-Canada workshop is a three-day event, which focuses on international affairs, and security and defence. The workshop’s theme is particularly relevant in the Canadian context, given the federal government’s recently launched National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, and commitment to feminist foreign policy, both of which acknowledges that women experience violence and security differently than men.
