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.

Useable security for aging in place

Agreement Number:

997755

Duration: from Sep 1, 2022 to Aug 31, 2027
Description:

The management of technology in the home can unnecessarily burden older adults and, if done incorrectly, create substantial risks to both security and privacy. This is particularly problematic with the increased adoption of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices such as smart speakers, which are easier to expose users’ privacy or security, especially for those less technology savvy such as older adults. Currently, the privacy and security burden is on the consumer – a solution that is not practical when consumers such as older adults lack the technical expertise. This presents significant barriers to the use of digital technologies to support aging in place. To address these barriers, this Project aims to develop knowledge products (such as standards and design guidelines) that will assist both consumers and developers in securing the data of devices as well as the privacy of users by utilizing human-computer interaction techniques to develop usable security management for older adults.
