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.

Development of a Defence-First, Dual Use, Next-Gen Sovereign Edge-Compute/AI, and Communication Platform for Canada’s DND, and its Global Allies.
1040367
Emergent Solutions Inc. (ESI) will complete the Operations, Administration, and Management (OAM) software for its first next-generation SKU, the EBR100 rugged edge communications platform, supporting dual-use defence and critical infrastructure applications. The project advances the system from TRL 6 to a production-ready release (v1.0.0) by integrating secure device and fleet management, radio and network control, firmware lifecycle management, edge compute orchestration, and hardened cybersecurity. The software will be developed under ESI’s cross-platform strategy and will form the foundational layer for the next-generation EGU platform, enabling substantial reuse of validated modules and accelerating commercialization of future systems.

Operational Cost Reduction for Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) Deployment
1040408
The primary objective of this project is to commercially validate a calcium-based ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) dosing system that achieves a minimum 60% reduction in operating cost per tonne of CO2 removed, while delivering 12,000 tonnes of verified carbon within the 2026 calendar year.
Successful completion will demonstrate that calcium-based feedstocks can replace imported magnesium materials while maintaining reliable, creditable, and community-supported operations which are requirements for future commercial scale deployment.
