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.

2-in-1 Electric Scooter Motor Drive with Rare Earth Magnet Free Switched Reluctance Motor
1032569
In the proposed project, Enedym will develop an integrated switched reluctance motor drive for an electric Scooter. Enedym's switched reluctance motor technology doesn’t include rare-earth metals. Hence, it will reduce the cost and improve supply chain security of the next-generation electric scooters. The inverter and motor are integrated into the same housing. This will further reduce the cost by eliminating production and assembly of a separate inverter and by removing high-power cables connecting the inverter to the motor. In the proposed project, the motor geometry, windings and the power converter will be designed to satisfy the performance requirements, space constraints, cost targets, and for ease of assembly and manufacturability.
