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.

Reaction Wheel Development for Medium-Sized New-Space Satellite Platforms
25STDPX38
Rocket Lab Toronto is a prime global manufacturer of new-space reaction wheels with 1500+ units sold to 70+ spacecraft manufacturing companies around the world. However, all current products are suited for satellites smaller than 400 kg and not suitable for medium-sized telecommunication missions in low-earth or higher orbits which in recent years have seen a significant increase in demand.
Through design and development of a reaction wheel with larger angular momentum capacity under this project, Rocket Lab’s Toronto division will expand its reaction wheel products reach to a much larger market and new applications. It will be able to supply the Canadian sovereign telecommunication constellation needs that are currently reliant on foreign products. Rocket Lab’s “careful COTS” low-cost approach is based on research, selection, and testing of commercial components and qualifying them for severe rocket and space environments. This project benefits Canada strategically by providing it with a sovereign product. It will also add high paying jobs and bring millions of dollars of international revenue to the country.
