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.

Guide for Creating a Secure Digital Identity Framework as Part of a Cloud-Based Digital Organizational Transformation
Canadian companies manage the digital identity of many people, such as clients and staff, which poses challenges in terms of personal information protection and legal compliance, in a context of de facto transnational cloud-based data storage. However, scientific knowledge in the field is still limited and most often dispersed across several disciplines, which limits the ability of organizations to securely implement digital identity.
This research project will identify and evaluate innovative practices to create a Guide for creating a secure digital identity framework as part of a cloud-based digital organizational transformation. More specifically, it aims to answer the following research question: How do we implement a digital identity within a company while respecting the privacy of Canadians in accordance with the legal framework in which data are collected, stored and shared through cloud-based resources?
This research will identify and evaluate innovative practices in this area and highlight best practices. Lastly, the Guide that will be produced will make this knowledge available to Canadian companies to facilitate its applicability.
