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.

Photonic quantum sensors and novel detectors towards sensing beyond the standard quantum limit
987588
Peculiarities of quantum physics such as superposition and entanglement
offer unprecedented advantages in secure communication, computing,
sensing and metrology. The fundamentals of quantum optics was first used
to demonstrate how quantum properties of light can provide sensing and
metrology capabilities beyond the standard quantum limit. Recent progress
in the development of photonic sources and detectors (specifically photon
number resolving detectors) propels research and development in efficient and scalable quantum photonic sensing devices. The photon number resolving detection technology helps to design detection schemes beyond the standard homodyne and single photon detection. This enables photon parity or weak-homodyne detection strategies that uses the best of both discrete variable and continuous variable photonic information processing to advance quantum sensing and metrology.
To support sensing applications that attain a real-world advantage across both scientific metrics and business value (surpassing existing classical techniques), significant development of new features are required in photonnumber-resolving detectors. 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. These developments will be combined with novel detection schemes to demonstrate quantum photonic sensing beyond the shot-noise limit.

HRIS Platform Integration and Abstraction Layer Development
987627
This project will eliminate the need for Chocolate Soup clients to manual update employee information by seamless integration with their HRIS and provide a central Client Portal for all interactions. This will eliminate manual errors and allow Chocolate Soup to receive all information updates in near real-time.

NWT Science Program Development and Engagement Workshops
NST-2122-0058
GNWT will organize a workshop to bring together representatives from Indigenous research and monitoring organizations and Guardians Programs to co-develop a research and monitoring program for Great Slave Lake (GSL). The workshop will review ongoing work, identify community priorities, and develop a collective vision for research and monitoring in the GSL basin to address needs and create connections between youth and elders around environmental monitoring programs.

Congregation Toldos Yakov Yosef
4165974
The purpose of this contribution is to provide funding for a security assessment, the installation of a closed circuit television system, alarm system, lighting outside the building, access control system and security window films. Training on how to respond to an event and on how to use the new equipment will also be provided.
