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.

25STDPX43
The world is striving to settle and develop the Moon. However, no one can stay there for longer than a few days without affordable ways to obtain the critical energy needed to survive the extreme cold. Volta will solve this problem beaming energy from satellites in lunar orbit to energy receivers on the surface specifically designed to work on the Moon. The first of these receivers will be developed and tested by Volta in this project, with a breakthrough technology that can ensure stability, and performance for unprecedented mission opportunities. Furthermore, Volta will send a small-scale version of its receiver to the Moon.
