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.

Mars Atmospheric Gas Evolution - Flying Localization Investigation MAGE-FLI
25FAYOA32
This project aims to better understand the sources and behavior of methane gas on Mars, which is important because it could indicate active biological or chemical processes beneath the planet’s surface. To achieve this, the project uses rotorcraft—drones capable of flying in Mars-like conditions—to track methane plumes and pinpoint their origins. The investigation will progress through three stages: first, examining plume dynamics and source localization in a non-chemically reactive environment; next, examining methane and chlorine interactions under simulated Mars conditions in a laboratory; and finally, field testing in an environment similar to Mars (Námafjall, Iceland). The project’s main deliverable is a detailed method for detecting and tracing methane plumes, helping scientists determine whether Mars may have ongoing biological activity.
