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.

Tasker Safety Management System: Expanding Accessibility and Integration to Streamline UAV Operations for the enablement of Industrial Drone Use
1031934
Tasker is a web-based safety management system designed to reduce the complexities associated with UAV use in the aerospace industry. Tasker is currently available as a commercial product but is in the early stages of growth and trying to scale through greater user adoption. These concerns will be addressed in two parts, first with the release of a mobile app and second increasing automation through integration with common UAV Ground Control Systems (GCS).
The proposed project would take an existing prototype mobile application and develop it for commercial release.
Additionally, the project will look to increase automation through integration with popular GCS features such as flight log import and export and others.
