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.

Salt Water Well Testing

Agreement Number:

1037733

Duration: from Dec 1, 2025 to Nov 30, 2026
Description:

The Victoria location utilizes salt water wells to supply water to both groups of biology: Halibut and Wolffish. This water is used in the rearing of broodstock, egg fertilization, yolk sac, egg incubation, first feed, nursery and grow out. Each segment of the operation requires strict control of variables to replicate environment seen in the wild.
AMAR and its partners in both Iceland and Norway have been tracking the growth rates and health of fish and comparing this to operations in PEI. PEI shows inferior growth rates primarily due to water temperature. This project is a strategic effort to locate the coldest water on the site by expanding it coldest well and studying impact on growth rates and overall fish health.

Risk-Based Engineering Review and Validation of the AquaLogic Vessel

Agreement Number:

1037897

Duration: from Dec 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026
Description:

AquaLogic is developing a novel, fabric-hulled catamaran vessel for bulk freshwater transportation through the ocean. This project will support a structured risk-based validation of the vessel design in collaboration with a third-party that are recognized experts in new marine technology.

The overarching goal of this project is to achieve risk-based validation and third-party recognition of the AquaLogic freshwater transportation vessel’s design, safety principles, and operational protocols.

This project is a key step toward commercialization and will help ensure the vessel is ready for future deployment and approval by transport Canada.

Text-to-3D Artificial Intelligence Engineering Workflows

Agreement Number:

1037905

Duration: from Dec 1, 2025 to Dec 14, 2026
Description:

Modern engineering workflows are complex, involving large 3D models, technical documents, and structured data. Current tools demand manual effort and expertise to extract data and build models. Our vision is to develop a Text-to-3D AI Assistant that lets engineers interact with models and documents using natural language. This assistant will convert text into structured 3D outputs, reducing setup time, improving accuracy, and making advanced tools more accessible. This proposal details our plan to build the first intelligent Text-to-3D assistant for Integrated Design Suite (IDS), using AI-driven data extraction, reasoning, and natural language processing to automate key workflows.
