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.

Copper Recovery from Canadian Waste
1031462
Destiny Copper is revolutionizing copper production by recovering copper powder from industrial waste with a Canadian patented process. Industry currently relies on disposal companies to incinerate or deep-well inject copper waste, practices that increase emissions and waste valuable resources. This IRAP project will develop a scalable, sustainable method that will convert industrial copper waste into high-quality, commercial-grade copper powder, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 99% while securing a domestic supply of this critical material.
