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.

Development of self-learning algorithms for monitoring and assessing integrity of goods in Internet of Things based urban logistics
973380
The global pandemic has revitalized local retail logistics models in light of high demand for the delivery of perishable goods, and to ensure product freshness, safety and security, real-time tracking and monitoring of all operational elements along the production, packaging and distribution delivery chain has become extremely important.
This project seeks to develop sophisticated, real-time traceability associated with delivery logistics. Built on extensive benchmarked datasets and artificial intelligence of things technology, this project will deploy training and testing datasets to design, develop, and validate a set of self-learning algorithms for assessing freshness and integrity of the products along a plausible logistics value chain.
In particular, this project focuses on developing AI-enabled models for monitoring the freshness of goods along the production and delivery chain. In this project, predictive models will be developed, tested, and validated, and at least two full use-cases for the delivery of fresh products from production to end-use will be designed. The project outcome will be an AI-enabled algorithm that collects real-time data that can be deployed in a field-test setting.
