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.

AI-Driven Solutions for Veterinarians: Shift Approval Predictability Prototype
1034357
This project will develop an AI-powered tool enabling relief veterinarians to assess the likelihood of a shift being approved by clinics. The tool factors in current market dynamics, negotiation parameters, vet profiles, and clinic preferences to deliver real-time predictive insights. Designed to support strategic decision-making, it empowers vets to optimize their time, increase income stability, and reduce emotional fatigue from rejections or uncertainty. This initiative aligns with the Firm's mission to provide structure, autonomy, and financial clarity for independent veterinarians.
