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.

Intelligent Solutions for People Analytics

MHS is building a platform for psychometric evaluation that is usable across multiple interfaces, such as tablets, mobile phones, wearable tech, and internet of things (IoT) devices. This platform will be integrated into business management systems, such as customer resource management (CRM), HR information systems (HRIS), and electronic health record (EHR) systems to extend the reach of MHS solutions and to enhance data collection and analysis capabilities. Since integration is currently prohibited by our captive IP, this project will require a decoupled IP to foster flexibility in the new platform. This platform will transition our existing practice of only providing assessments to a full end-to-end solution for our customers.
