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.

Improve & Scale Manufacturing While Conducting Related Market Research
1033336
The objective of this project is to improve and scale manufacturing and conduct related market research on the application of renewable formates in Canada and eventually, globally. A key manufacturing target is producing 4 tonnes of formic acid per month, scaling up to an initial goal of 250 tonnes per year, with an eventual aim of 18,000 tonnes annually. For commercial success, the project targets securing industrial B2B accounts with a high trial-to-purchase conversion rate and selling 10,000 home-use units. The project aims to capture a foothold of the Canadian oxide removal market initially and industrial/municipal de-icing needs.
