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 involves the construction of shoreline protection in two critical areas of the Lennox Island First Nation Indian Reserve # 1. The community is located on an island jointed to PEI Provincial Highway 163. Its location makes the community susceptible to storm surges and the rising sea level increases its vulnerability to flooding.The project will add to and modernize an existing building.

Over these past 20 years, the shore bank along the boardwalk suffered serious erosion. In some areas, 7-8 feet of bank has been lost. This erosion has been the result of surge tides, higher water levels and more frequent storms. The Rustico Sea walk Project proposes to stabilize and fortify 1100' of the eroding bank by placing granite stone over geo-tex fabric at the foot and approximately 2/3 up the bank. This is an engineered solution designed to prevent bank erosion for the next 50 years at least.

Enhancing the protection of natural gas delivery systems
This project will identify opportunities both at the industry and company-specific levels for enhancing cyber security in the natural gas delivery industry. The second aspect of this project will involve the evaluation of the potential value for Canadian natural gas delivery companies proposed by Cyber Essentials Canada certification. As operators continue to improve their cybersecurity programs, Canadians will benefit from increased resilience and reliability of natural gas delivery systems. This means that even as cyber threats evolve, Canadian can continue to rely on an affordable and safe source of energy.
