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.

P001112001: Improving the Effectiveness of Parliaments in Latin America and the Caribbean
5007061713 P001112001
P001112001: This project aims to strengthen democratic governance in Latin America and the Caribbean by increasing the ability of elected officials in the region to fulfil their roles and responsibilities. The project supports an integrated program aimed at increasing the practical skills and knowledge of parliamentarians so that they can effectively carry out their parliamentary functions and contribute to policymaking related to issues of both national and regional importance.
Activities include: (1) providing training programs, peer-to-peer exchanges (involving regional and Canadian parliamentarians), and mentorship programs to improve the abilities of parliamentarians and senior staffers to carry out their functions; (2) conducting topical workshops, briefing sessions with relevant agencies of the Organization of American States, and supporting participation in annual conferences to strengthen parliamentarians' knowledge of key regional issues and mechanisms; and (3) promoting cooperation between parliamentarians and citizens, through dialogue sessions with civil society groups and workshops on effective mechanisms for engaging with citizens and civil society groups.
