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.

Pointing Mirror for Wide-Angle Fabry-Pérot Spectrometer
22STDPQ12
The project will evaluate the advantages of a pointing mirror as a technology candidate for reducing the detection threshold and increasing the coverage and capacity of GHGSat’s wide-angle Fabry-Pérot (WAF-P) spectrometer. The project will build on heritage technology from GHGSat, and its partners with lessons learned from a predecessor project supported by the Science and Technology Development Program (STDP) as well as updated simulations and operational experience from GHGSat’s existing satellite constellation. This project will advance technologies required for GHGSat’s next generation spectrometer sensor to achieve significantly reduced greenhouse gas detection thresholds while increasing coverage and measurement capacity. If successful, GHGSat intends to fly the next generation spectrometer sensor as an experimental hosted payload on a third-party satellite, followed by large-scale deployment in a constellation. Support for this project will accelerate GHGSat’s efforts to monitor facility-level greenhouse gas emissions from space to help operators and governments mitigate emissions in the fight against climate change.

Human Rights and Wellbeing of LGBTQ2I Women and Girls in West Africa
7441515 P008314001
Planned to last 2 years, the project will specifically aim to increase the power of LBTQI women and girls at the national level (in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, and Senegal), at the regional level in West Africa, and at the international level by promoting the integration of the voices of West African LBTQI women and girls into international spaces of dialogue and mobilization, such as the UN system and international networks such as ILGA.
The project assumes that the health and well-being of LBTQI women and girls will be improved if their power is sustained, particularly through improved provision of health services tailored to their specific needs and interests, increased capacity for collective organization, and increased exchanges at the national, regional, and international levels.
