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.

This project entitled "" HTS Antenna Technology Second Generation "" has the following objective (s):
The proposed multi-feed per beam technology will represent a useful complement to the current single feed per beam Multi-beam antenna technology at MDA, as it offers a reduction of the number of antenna apertures by a factor of two. This results in significant antenna accommodation benefits by allowing more antennas to be installed on a given spacecraft. This new industrial capability will therefore result in significant antenna cost reduction as a result of the elimination of two of the four reflectors currently used in most multi-beam antennas. It will also be possible to use the freed up volume to add more revenue generating antennas, which will contribute to Iowering the cost to the operators and ultimately the cost per bit to the consumers. The proposed technology will also enable MDA to better respond to the national and international communications market needs by offering higher capacity systems through the use of V-band gateways.

This project entitled "" Skid Steer Optimization (SSO) "" will address gaps in two emerging markets related to planetary exploration: electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles. As a result, new Canadian industrial capabilities focusing on increasing efficiency in the use of skid steer autonomous and electric vehicles will be created. The advancement of this technology is well aligned with future space mission needs, and can present a cost-effective opportunity for Canadian participation on an international mission. Terrestrial applications of this technology, such as agriculture, mining and military, are anticipated to have high market potential, which will result in further innovation, economic growth and job creation. This project will also provide socio-economic return and growth in the Canadian space sector by training and creating employment opportunities for Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP).
