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.

Acadian Seaplants Limited is now the largest producer of cultivated Dulse globally. Previous IRAP contributions have been crucial to the technical advances achieved in the last two-three years including advances in strain
selection/development, productivity improvement, contamination control and prevention, and scale up. To ensure consistent quality and profitability, key challenges need to be addressed such as energy cost reduction, adaptation to morphological changes during harvesting and processing, and finished goods quality/food safety preservation during storage.

AI Driven Customization of Customer boxes
1028273
The Project will support the development of a plan to leverage artificial intelligence to extensively leverage past customer behaviour (10+ years) and product availability in the pre-population of customer produce and meat boxes. This will result in both more satisfied customers (i.e. getting what they want without having to customize each week) and more accurate demand prediction (i.e. reducing out of stock from underordering and shrink from overordering).
