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.

Nutrient value and acceptance of a complete and balanced dog food with novel ingredients from insects and algae

Agreement Number:

985512

Duration: from Dec 1, 2021 to Mar 31, 2023
Description:

Livestock and fish farming are the largest contributors to the environmental impact of food production; thus, finding ways to sustainably reduce livestock and fish demand is desirable and will support the development of sustainable, local food systems. In the context of pet food, there are nutrients that have been historically provided by fish or meat ingredients and so to reduce our reliance on traditional farming, we will evaluate the nutritive value, palatability and digestibility of an adult maintenance dog food containing novel ingredients as main sources of protein and essential amino acids.

Development of a 25kW Solar Trailer

Agreement Number:

985630

Duration: from Dec 1, 2021 to Jun 30, 2022
Description:

With the growing need to replace gas and diesel generators on industrial sites including mining and construction, HPS has identified a niche market that has no power solutions. The most common generator size for these applications is the 25kW generator, something that can be replaced with a hybrid solar system. The
trailer mounted solution we are proposing has equivalent power, fold out solar wings for solar production, solar ready for additional fixed solar plug in, a built-in generator along with a built in energy storage system. This first of its kind trailer mounted solution is an easy to deploy power plant with 100% up time and can run completely on solar.
