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.

AI detection system to fully automate QA/QC in beverage recycling warehouses
1042926
Corral AI is developing a scalable, configurable AI-powered quality-control (QC) platform for deposit return systems. Building on proven pilot work with reference operations, the project focuses on creating a market-agnostic solution that can be adopted by centralized auditing authorities and rapidly deployed across their depot networks. The work includes documenting QA/QC processes, designing modular camera hardware, training high-accuracy computer-vision models, and building flexible software integrations. The resulting platform is engineered for regional adaptability, regulatory variation, and rapid scaling, creating a strong foundation to expand into multiple domestic and international recycling markets.
