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.

This project entitled "" Actuated-Reset Shockless Hold Down & Release Mechanism "" has the following objective (s):
MDA proposes to undertake the technology development of a Hold-Down and Release Mechanism (HDRM) for the stowage of satellite and spacecraft appendages during launch that addresses two capability gaps currently encountered on all market offerings, namely:
• The ability to be easily reset on the spacecraft during ground operations or on-orbit for re-stowage of hardware.
• Near-zero shock loads upon release.
This innovative solution will eliminate the current need for replacement or refurbishment of the HDRM actuators after every use, and enable the development of higher performance, lighter payload structures that do not need to withstand high local shock values.
