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.

Connecting young women, but at what price? FemTech and privacy
n/a
This research project aims to analyze the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in the context of FemTech (female technology) mobile applications dedicated to wellness and the body, such as applications for tracking menstruation (Flo Health, Clue, Eve, Natural Cycle, etc.), pregnancy (e.g., Flutter Care) or breastfeeding (LactApp, Mylee, etc.). It will focus on Canadian women of childbearing age, particularly the youngest among these women, including minors, and aims to shed light on the negative impacts on their privacy. These applications, most of which are from U.S. companies, encourage women to provide a significant amount of sensitive and intimate data on their health. However, these companies’ general conditions of use and privacy policies are often vague when it comes to the measures being taken to protect personal information and comply with PIPEDA. This project will improve protection of the intimate personal information shared by women who use these applications. It will lead to recommendations to the legislator with a view to reforming PIPEDA.
Education and awareness raising initiatives specifically targeting young women will also be launched to raise awareness of their rights and the risks associated with FemTech applications to help these women better protect their personal data in a digital environment. Lastly, this research will fill a major knowledge gap, as while the extensive collection of personal information by FemTech applications has been criticized, there have been no systematic studies of the situation for women in Canada.
