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.

Research to Determine if Yields in "New Gaspereau" Vineyard can Reach Average "Old Gasperueau" Vineyard Yields While Maintaining Comparable Quality & Production
994825
Benjamin Bridge Vineyards seeks to research low productivity in a newer section of its vineyard in comparison to an older, more mature section. Its research team will collect baseline data on the vineyard blocks, assess and test the soil for drainage and nutrient availability and the vines for disease, track yield and quality through the 2022 harvest, collate all the data, and then prepare a report with recommendations on viticultural repair and management.

Speech generation for indigenous language education
994966
We will create a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesizer and verb conjugator for nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree). The development of a software-based verb conjugator for nêhiyawêwin represents an opportunity to develop a resource that encompasses significant role in filling the gap in the availability/accessibility of language resources that are suited to the structure of nêhiyawêwin. The development of a TTS synthesizer will be integrated with the verb conjugator and will similarly fill a gap in the availability/accessibility of resources. TTS synthesis is valuable in this context because it will provide learners access to standard pronunciation of words in environments where immediate access to a fluent speaker may be difficult. Because of the polysynthetic nature of nêhiyawêwin, it is impossible to create separate recordings of every word, whereas appropriately designed TTS can produce audio for any word the verb conjugator can generate.
