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.

Evaluating Privacy Permissions and Consent Requested to Use a New Motor
n/a
With the rise of the smart or connected car, the auto industry has become a leader in connected technology. Current vehicle models feature the internet of things (IoT); they incorporate complex systems of devices that communicate data about the driver and vehicle performance, experience and safety. These features include Global Positioning Systems (GPS), vehicle trackers, cameras and sensors, all of which can be connected to the cloud and are meant to enhance the driver experience as well as improve safety. Current vehicle technology benefits customers with hands-free calling and texting, navigation, infotainment, voice-assistance, sensors that detect drowsiness and alert drivers who are falling asleep, sensors that detect obstacles around the vehicle, and warning sensors that indicate service to the vehicle is needed or recommended. For many years, onboard data recorders have registered details of a vehicle’s operation in the seconds before a collision; recently, the depth of information collected has increased considerably and can include video of the vehicle in the minutes before a collision.
The purpose of this project is to collect and analyze the privacy permissions and releases automakers require of their Canadian customers in exchange for access to the onboard features and connected applications in their vehicles. Researchers will compile information using actual current-model-year vehicles, vehicle owner’s manuals, automaker websites, and information from auto dealers when it is available.
To the APA's knowledge, this will be the first inventory undertaken in Canada to determine and understand the commitments that vehicle owners are making to fully use the connected capabilities of the vehicles they drive.
