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.

Salt Water Well Testing
1037733
The Victoria location utilizes salt water wells to supply water to both groups of biology: Halibut and Wolffish. This water is used in the rearing of broodstock, egg fertilization, yolk sac, egg incubation, first feed, nursery and grow out. Each segment of the operation requires strict control of variables to replicate environment seen in the wild.
AMAR and its partners in both Iceland and Norway have been tracking the growth rates and health of fish and comparing this to operations in PEI. PEI shows inferior growth rates primarily due to water temperature. This project is a strategic effort to locate the coldest water on the site by expanding it coldest well and studying impact on growth rates and overall fish health.
