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.

AȽȻEȽ SĆȺ - Creation of text-to speech synthesizer and verb/root word conjugator for SENĆOŦEN

Agreement Number:

992625

Duration: from Jun 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025
Description:

We will create a text to speech synthesizer (TTS) and verb/root word conjugator for SENĆOŦEN. The development of a TTS provides an opportunity to hugely increase our ability to mobilize many of the resources we have created for our SENĆOŦEN immersion program including read along books, on-line lessons, grammar book, and the ongoing development of a SENĆOŦEN literature. The development of a verb/root word based conjugator for SENĆOŦEN will play a significant role in filling gaps in the availability/accessibility of online language resources such as the grammar developed by our language team with support of Dr. Timothy Montler. 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 SENĆOŦEN, it is impossible to create separate recordings of every word, whereas appropriately designed TTS synthesizer can produce audio for any words the verb/root word conjugator can generate.
