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.

MILV Vehicle
1041066
Adapting our custom stealth battery electrical side by side from agriculture market toward military variant will allow for secure supply chain platform that is modular and scalable with integration of defense technology. The 100% Canadian IP platform has evolved to allow for simplistic manufacturing and NATO friendly drivetrain integration to allow for robust manufacturing plan for defense. The rugged drive performance, power of the initial vehicle allow for a harsh/variable drive conditions that can include steep inclines, mud/sand/snow, heavy payload under towing. The initial design upgrade has included an autonomy kit to allow for driverless steering options for things such as soldier retrieval or perimeter monitoring/drone defence.
