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.

OSIRIS-3: CubeSat Payload Design and Demonstration
21FASASB09
Given this context, the development of OSIRIS-3 - building strongly from the original instrument design approach - is particularly relevant.
This project will take an important and early step to continue the OSIRIS data record into the future by developing a 6U CubeSat sized OSIRIS (OSIRIS-3) optical spectrometer and demonstrating the fidelity of this prototype with a test flight on a stratospheric balloon.
The proposed development of the OSIRIS-3 CubeSat prototype is a critical step to an inexpensive and proven way to continue to monitor O3, NO2 and aerosol for Canadian applications. Indeed, with projected increases in forest fires due to climate change, and
interest in the potential for “climate geo-engineering” with intentional stratospheric
aerosol creation to curb greenhouse gas warming, a sustainable and low-cost OSIRS CubeSat
instrument will be highly relevant to Canadian needs to monitor and understand these critical
changes.
