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.

This project will enhance the existing record suspension (pardon) program by improving outreach and education efforts to dispel the myths, redirect women with minimal financial means away from private services, ensuring a core group of volunteers are trained to offer the one-on-one support, adding a bi-monthly online peer support groups, and improving application access with financial subsidies for travel and obtaining documents. This project serves a variety of ethnic groups, including Indigenous and Inuit communities, through building capacity in Canada’s North and focuses primarily on women. The proposed service considers the challenges and trauma of applying for a record suspension and will implement measures to reduce the negative impact of the process while encourage clients to adhere to the timeline.
