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.

Lightweight Towed Reelable Active Passive Variable Depth Sonar

Agreement Number:

959174

Duration: from Nov 2, 2020 to Mar 31, 2022
Description:

The objective of this project is to develop a lightweight version of the TRAPS variable depth ASW sonar that can be integrated with unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) including the Elbit Seagull and AAI Textron CUSV. A significant reduction in weight is required; this must be accomplished without compromising USV stability or endurance, or TRAPS performance.

MERCURIUS LANDER: Development of a deep-sea lander for monitoring and event warning

Agreement Number:

959918

Duration: from Nov 2, 2020 to Feb 28, 2023
Description:

This project MERCURIUS LANDER led by Nautilus Marine (Germany) aims to develop a new deep-sea lander concept with a system of “messenger” pods that will receive relevant data from the acquisition system on the seabed either on pre-set schedules or in the event of a triggered alert. The messenger pods will subsequently travel up to the surface as fast as possible and will then immediately transfer the collected data via satellite communication to shore, while broadcasting its position regularly for pickup.
