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.

Reaching Home: Homelessness Program Co-development
Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

An empirical framework for robust machine learning systems and its application in AI4L
1000543
Machine Learning (ML) technologies have been widely adopted in many
mission-critical fields to support intelligent decision-making with superior
performance. With the success of these new technologies, the application of
ML introduces novel and significant threats to AI-powered systems.
Policymakers around the world have made a number of ongoing efforts on
regulation enactment to enforce and normalize AI cybersecurity and privacy.
It is essential to ensure that ML systems can achieve regulatory compliance
and satisfy the standard requirements.
This project will focus on developing a taxonomy of state-of-the-art ML
offensive/defensive technologies based on a comprehensive literature
review, including a collection of open-source adversarial challenges and
defense utilities; devising efficient security and privacy defense mechanisms
against the threats faced in the ML model training and prediction phase; and
developing an empirical framework consisting of a toolset of best practices
that can be leveraged to enable robust ML application development and
deployment.

An AI-enabled testbed for satellite mega-constellations: From simulator to networks innovator accelerator
1000744
Private companies such as SpaceX, OneWeb, and Telesat are launching satellite mega-constellations to provide low-latency and high-throughput Internet access anywhere on Earth. Relying on inter-satellite optical links and satellite onboard computation capabilities, it is possible to conform resource-sharing satellite networks that efficiently deliver traffic while meeting the quality of service required by heterogeneous demands. However, since the conditions in space are highly dynamic and time-varying, it is not efficient to use traditional routing and transport protocols that were designed for stable terrestrial networks. In addition, the lack of access to realistic experimentation platforms limits the development, testing, and evaluation of innovative solutions. Therefore, this project proposes the development of a testbed to evaluate and demonstrate novel routing and transport schemes specifically designed for satellite mega-constellations. In particular, and as a distinctive feature, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques is foreseen to cope with the conditions imposed by the highly dynamic space environment.
