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.

Sensor-based situational awareness for ships in ice

Agreement Number:

977203

Duration: from Sep 1, 2021 to Aug 31, 2023
Description:

Ice situation identification is critical for safe in-ice operation such as shipping and oil drilling in arctic ocean. However, current sensing technologies do not provide a holistic characterization of ice situation (e.g., concentration, thickness, age of the ice).This project will develop data fusion algorithms that can be merged to a sustainable platform capable to characterize the ice situation from multi-sensor measurements. This project will allow improvement of the safety of navigation in ice, and benefit communities relying on the corresponding logistics.

Youth Employment - Develop Artifical Intelligence Based Product for Conformation Traits Scoring

Agreement Number:

977372

Duration: from Sep 1, 2021 to Mar 31, 2022
Description:

Our innovative product (iClassifier) is an AI-based technology for smart agriculture and particularly for dairy industries. The goal is to develop a smart product for scoring conformation or linear type traits of cows. At this stage, we are developing an APP that allows the users to use their cell phones to capture guided images from their livestock and load the images on our platform. Ultimately, iClassifier will automatically facilitate the scoring practice for the dairy producers using image processing methods. An automated scoring device is designed and will be developed to fully automate the process.
