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.

Catalytic Production of PFA for Water Treatment Applications
1029634
Symbient Environmental Technologies is a Mississauga, Ontario based clean-tech start-up company specializing in the development of enabling process technologies based on catalysis and other engineered nanomaterials. Symbient has patent pending catalyst and process technologies for water treatment, which will enable the point of use production of performic acid (PFA), a non-toxic and sustainable disinfectant which will obviate the need to use chlorine-based disinfectants, thereby eliminating the creation of hazardous chlorination disinfection by-products (DPBs). Symbient’s PFA technology will afford reduced capital and operating costs and result in a substantial reduction in ecotoxicity and climate change impact relative to the incumbent hypochlorite disinfection technology, enabling operators to achieve their regulatory compliance targets.
