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.

B2B Payments
967733
The firm aims to develop Software As A Service (SAAS) platform that will allow small businesses a lightweight and standardized onboarding process to gain access to a network of large enterprises that they often do work for and need to collect payment from. This innovation will provide access to these large companies with fewer steps, fewer approvals, and shorter wait times to collect payment. The firm’s solution will also provide the small business owners more control over their payment terms including preferred payment methods, and payment schedules. They will be able to set rules on when they need to get paid, and what method they need to get paid so that they can gain access to the funds quickly and easily reconcile their accounting.

AI-enabled navigation of unmanned aircraft systems in remote northern areas
975734
This Project considers the intricate challenges that are associated with transportation and logistics support to remote and northern areas of Canada. The objective of the Project is to design and develop autonomous capabilities for the navigation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) range where operator intervention may not be feasible. The Project will consist of the development of AI-based algorithms for autonomous BVLOS flight routes, algorithm development for simultaneous localization and mapping, the design of vision-based control methods for landings, intelligent aerial manipulation control techniques for package delivery and pickups; collecting drone flight and delivery-pickup data from northern Manitoba communities and verifying the AI-based methods through simulations and experiments.

Catalyst upgrade and developing industrially scalable formulation
975995
This project aims to optimize and upgrade the formulation of catalysts for carbon formation. The current formulation recipe had drawbacks of slow production, high wastewater content, and fast degradation and the need for homogenization. This project targets to re-evaluate the formulation, steps of preparation, optimize the concentration and the size of each batch with a goal to make the production industrially scalable. The catalyst will be evaluated in the production of CNF and the results will be used to optimize the formulation and method of production.
