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.

Eglinton Crosstown West Extension
The project will provide a rapid transit connection from the western terminus of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT) to the Mississauga’s MiWay Bus Rapid Transit service at Renforth Gateway in Mississauga. The project will create a single rapid transit connection from Kennedy Station in Scarborough through to Mississauga and will address the following issues: i) increased coverage, access and network resilience; and ii) community growth and development. The project scope includes new construction of a 9 kilometre, double-track, transit alignment with approximately 7 kilometres of tunnelled sections and the rest of the alignment above-grade and at-grade. The project will result in improved capacity of public transit infrastructure, improved quality and/or safety of existing or future transit systems and access to the public transit system in Toronto, Ontario. The project will also result in increased access to clean energy transportation.
