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.

London Research and Pharmaceuticals Corporation (LRPC) developed a strategy to optimize the physicochemical and pharmacological properties of cannabinoids via providing new methods to convert cannabinoids (CBD) into fully soluble and stable products (Patent # US62/970,764) that are deliberately designed to impart specific properties that will be readily translated into nutraceuticals + pharmaceuticals and strengthen the health + wellness cannabis market where no fully soluble cannabinoids are known.

CRC Implementation and THC Isolate Method Development
1008542
Cannabis-containing food and beverage products have been widely marketed across Canada and the United States as offering some of the therapeutic effects associated with cannabis in consumer-packaged good form. However, due to the chemical complexity and botanical origin of many cannabis raw materials used to infuse consumer products, achieving purified materials is an industry-wide challenge. Peak Processing Solutions is developing a new refinement technique that will help overcome these challenges and generate cannabis-containing raw materials that meet the standards required for use in consumer packaged goods and beyond.
