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.

Prediction of automotive system health from time series data using neural network models
952153
Pitstop’s mission is to obtain predictive maintenance insights from vehicle data and service data. Some drawbacks with machine learning approaches have been that data sets are not always complete. The simulation approach taken in this project will improve this situation and increase the benefit of a machine learning approach. In this project the plan is to train algorithms where there are common cases of service records that correlate to time-series sensor streams across different kinds of components (ex. engine and battery) and let the machine learning take care of small variations. This is an important step in our plan to apply neural network approaches to build proprietary predictions models on vehicle wear and failures.

YEP - Digital Media Specialist
954221
The graduate will primarily work with our development team to create UX designs and graphics. This will be part of QuikLynx, our cloud-based management server. It is our intent to bring the graduate in on a full-time basis. The graduate is expected to work directly with our customers to build screens to promote their in-store specials using their graphics and branding and to build screens tailored to their graphics and brand on terminals/pinpads.
