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.

Harnessing genetic diversity for enhancing field pea yield and seed quality
1016056
As food producers are exploring a wider range of plant-based protein options, there is a rising demand for pea protein and flour. Understanding crop characteristics such as flowering time and plant height are key to variety development due to their role in wider adaptation and yield potential. For instance, early maturation can significantly extend the geographical range of production and their ability to thrive in varying seasonal weather patterns. Targeted plant height is highly desirable in pea breeding as it affects crop performance such as lodging, and thus yield and quality. There is an increasing interest in utilizing wild relatives and landraces to accelerate genetic gains for crop improvement. The extensive genetic resource has vast, yet unexplored potential for improvement of pea yield and seed quality traits. This two-year project will investigate about 330-340 pea lines and their adaptability traits under field conditions. Subsequently, laboratory studies will focus on comprehensive analyses of seed quality traits related to protein and starch
