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.

AI-Powered Field Operational Technology
1025449
The proposed platform will help organizations rapidly digitalize and mobilize certain business processes, particularly those related to field operations, by leveraging a cloud-based application and a mobile application platform that facilitates quickly designing and developing digital forms through a drag-and-drop mechanism and AI capability that can create forms based on the type of business process. These forms can then be published with one click to generate a new workflow on the Mobile App for users to digitalize business processes. The aim is to complete a minimum viable product (MVP) resulting from this project, which can be continuously enhanced based on market feedback.
