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.

UK AgTech - 68296 HABEDA: Developing an Early Warning System for Harmful Algae Blooms to Improve Productivity on Salmon Farms
969368
UK AgTech consortium project 68296 led by Innovasea Marine Systems Canada Ind. (CANADA) in collaboration with R.S. Aqua Ltd (UK) and Grieg Seafood Shetland Ltd (UK) will aim to reduce the environmental impact of salmon farming, improve fish health and welfare, and enhance farm productivity by developing an early warning system for plankton monitoring on aquaculture farms. Large harmful algae blooms (HABs) can cause catastrophic fish-kill events. Small localized HABs can negatively impact production by contributing to complex gill disease, one of the most important health issues in Scottish aquaculture today. By employing new technological and data-driven approaches to environmental monitoring, we will be able to reduce losses due to such events on salmon farms and increase productivity levels without the addition of substantial resources.
