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.

In particular, low speeds and low photon number resolution on events with large photon numbers have been a bottleneck in bringing such devices to real-world applications. In the Project, the team will push the boundaries of photon-number-resolution technology by increasing its repetition rate and number resolution capability.

Mine Action in Northwest Syria
7437554 P010765001
This project seeks to reduce the impact of explosive ordnance (EO) contamination on communities, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), in six districts in Northwest Syria. The project supports the Syrian Civil Defence (SCD) to identify and clear unexploded ordnance and educate communities on these hazards, causing a significant barrier to stabilization efforts.
Project activities include: (1) conducting non-technical surveys and clearance activities in districts contaminated by explosive ordnances; (2) providing training to new and current recruits, including women volunteers; (3) equipping SCD volunteers with equipment and materials to conduct clearance and survey activities; (4) providing explosive ordnance risk education through age-appropriate and gender-sensitive risk awareness sessions to affected populations; and (5) designing and distributing risk awareness materials in targeted districts.
