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.

ML in grain market analysis will transform the grain services industry. In the financial and insurance industries, leading banks and financial services companies are deploying AI technology, including ML (ML), to streamline their processes, optimize portfolios, decrease risk and underwrite loans amongst other things. The benefits of ML that are already being recognized in these industries can be applied to grain market analysis and portfolio recommendations. This project first seeks to develop and build on FarmLink’s current analytical protocols using ML techniques and secondly to take its enhanced recommendations to use ML to build a customer facing advanced marketing tool. The benefit to our famer customers will be a streamlined, simple to use individualized tool to empower their financial business plans and a step towards a Farmer 4.0.
