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.

Eliminate systemic barriers for LGBTQ2S+ women
QC21601
This 24-month project will support a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this goal, the Réseau des lesbiennes du Québec (RLQ) plans to develop and implement province-wide data collection focused on the needs and living conditions of LGBTQ2S+ women, and implement an awareness campaign to promote Lesbian Visibility Day (LVD). The main activities under the project will aim to increase the level of knowledge and raise awareness among different civil society actors about the real needs of LGBTQ2S+ women in order to influence change in the attendant social norms and attitudes.
By the end of the project, the organization will have helped eliminate systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices; by encouraging a more effective and equitable division of resources; by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change; by supporting a positive division of power, voice and decision-making authority; and by changing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes in support of women’s equality, but more specifically, women of sexual diversity.
