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.

Making Gender Parity in Politics Inevitable/Facilitating Newsroom Accountability
NA21913
This 31-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Informed Opinions will achieve this by advocating for policies and practices to increase women’s leadership in democratic, civic, public or private sectors while addressing discriminatory legislation, policies, and/or practices that prevent women and/or girls from fully participating in the social, political and economic spheres.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality.
This project will help advance women’s post-pandemic recovery by addressing systemic barriers to women’s political participation identified in the Elect Her report, creating conditions conducive to change by Reviewing Canadian political parties' existing policies and practices related to recruiting and running women in winnable ridings, and identifying persistent sources of resistance, while assembling research (Canadian, international) to challenge that resistance. This will result in a coordinated thought leadership campaign, mobilizing and supporting political scientists and advocates in making clear the indefensibility of the status quo and profiling practical approaches to remedy it. This project will be amplifying this news commentary through additional earned media (broadcast and podcast interviews, press gallery briefings, coordinated social media campaigns featuring arresting infographics and compelling videos) and by creating an SEO-optimized accessible and dynamic online portal to house all related materials and
solicit ongoing engagement.
