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 aims at improving the quality and quantity of satellite-derived ice information. It is specifically intended to identify ice cover, monitor its movement and know its characteristics. This R&D project will combine the use of radar and optical data to develop a new tool and improve the mapping of ice cover on Canadian waters.

The proposed software development for this project will extend the ability to determine the merit and validity of a new set of data (to become available on the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, and called compact polarimetry), for virtually any sensor or application using the compact polarimetry mode. By making this software available to the general user community, significant advances in the development of processing techniques of this new set of data can be expected.
