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.

Agreement:

Development of a Proprietary Yeast Strain for Non-Alcoholic Fermentations

Agreement Number:

1010909

Duration: from Oct 2, 2023 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

This project will seek to identify and modify a yeast strain that will convert fermentable sugars primarily or exclusively into glycerol, while minimizing the production of ethanol, resulting in a product that is less than 0.5% ABV (alcohol by volume).

CO2 would be produced as a byproduct of these sugars-to-glycerol fermentations, allowing for these innovative techniques to be applied to sparkling wine production. The low or nominal-alcohol wines produced using this new yeast strain could present unmatched qualitative advantages when compared to the present qualitative compromises and challenges of de-alcoholization via reverse osmosis.
