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.

Nunavut Victim Services 2026-2031
13750578
Nunavut will undertake several activities over five fiscal years to advance victim services and access to justice for victims and their families. Activities will include providing supports and services for victims of crime and Canadian Victims Bill of Rights components of the victims’ rights to information, participation, protection and right to seek restitution are implemented with culturally appropriate measures. In addition, Nunavut will also provide financial assistance programs for victims and their families to attend court proceedings, especially when hearings are held in Iqaluit or other regional hubs. This directly supports the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights principle of participation, ensuring victims can be present and heard during proceedings such as preliminary hearings, trials and sentencing. By grounding the program in these Inuit values, we ensure that services are culturally safe, trauma-informed, and responsive to the diverse needs of victims in Nunavut, while reflecting the federal principles for victims of crime.
