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.

Partner institutions with consolidated degree programs in regional and global governance will establish a program that will enable students to gain detailed understanding of the policy and politics of regional and global governance issues on both sides of the Atlantic. Students will benefit from study abroad courses or internships, as well as through enhanced course delivery by the use of new technology. A common teaching framework will be at the centre of the project with institutions collaborating on the development of an innovative transatlantic curriculum, taking the first step towards a joint double degree.

In response to increasing demands on the voluntary sector and civil society organizations, a Canadian-European civil society educational network formed under this project will facilitate the transatlantic exchange of students, faculty and learning tools. This includes the development of courses and programs designed to improve both practice and policy within civil society organizations and social enterprises. The project encompasses various disciplines including Environmental Studies, Business and Management, Social Sciences, Political Science and Economics. Students will have opportunities to undertake internships and community-based learning assignments, providing them with a broader range of skills to pursue careers within the public, private and non-profit voluntary sector.
