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.

Feasibility study for in-house manufacturing of baby seats using safer and more environmentally friendly processes.
973509
We currently outsource the manufacturing of our baby seats to a contract manufacturer that uses hydrocarbon-based blowing agents. The safe handling of these agents requires explosion-proof enclosures, and the implementation of new facilities that can handle hydrocarbons requires considerable capital outlay. As a first step towards building a more automated (higher-yielding), safer and more environmentally-friendly, in-house manufacturing facility here in Canada, we intend to explore the use of processes that require alternative (non-flammable) blowing agents to manufacture our integral skin polyurethane baby seats.
