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.

DNA Analysis - Quebec 2023-2027
24178
This program provides contributions to the governments of Ontario and Quebec which operate forensic laboratories that undertake biological casework analysis for the purpose of criminal identification and which provide crime scene DNA profiles to the NDDB. The program aligns with Government of Canada priorities and aligns with the Department’s objectives for a safe and resilient Canada. The 2010 Speech from the Throne reiterated the 2008 Government priorities of tackling crime and efficiencies in the justice system, and stressed the importance that justice must be effective, swift, and true. It is critical to public safety that a stable funding structure is in place to ensure that crimes are efficiently and effectively investigated, and offenders are fairly convicted and sentenced. The BCACP aligns with the overall federal government objective of supporting a sustainable, national DNA analysis framework as part of promoting public safety and an efficient justice system. The BCACP also aligns with the Department’s Government of Canada’s objectives achieved through cost sharing forensic DNA analysis as established under the Biology Casework Analysis Agreements, and similarly ensures a sustainable, consistent, and equitable approach to cost-sharing DNA analysis in Canada.
