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.

Bilateral agreement - The Naskapi Village of Kawawachikamach
23198
Public Safety Canada, in collaboration with and through recommendations of the Ministère de la Sécurité publique du Québec, is investing to strengthen the physical capabilities of First Nations and Inuit police forces in the Quebec region. This investment is part of the strategy to stabilize police forces under the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP). This strategy was developed to address existing gaps identified by FNIPP agreement holders in the region for their equipment and supply needs, whereas the second phase will support the stabilization of First Nations and Inuit police forces from 2024-25 onwards. The current investment bridges the gap between the two phases by enabling First Nations and Inuit police forces to increase their non-recurring equipment and physical capabilities.
