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.

Mine Action Review
7433309 P010535001
This project aims to assist the national authorities of affected States Parties to take measurable actions to meet their commitments as laid out in the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) and the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). This is accomplished through research, publications and recommendations from expert organizations to enhance information sharing among stakeholders. The project supports the organization and analysis of data on explosive remnants of war contamination worldwide, including national survey and clearance activities. This is done by publishing a series of annual reports with information on country-specific monitoring and country-specific analyses of progress. Project activities include: researching, drafting and publishing the annual reports: "Clearing the Mines," "Clearing Cluster Munition Remnants," "Guide to the Oslo Action Plan and Monitoring on Survey and Clearance," and, upon adoption of the related action plan, "Guide to the Lausanne Action Plan and Monitoring on Survey and Clearance."
