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.

Happy Fish
980914
This project is designed to understand the feasibility and scope of what is needed to develop and then bring to market a product that can provide land-based farms with an easy-to-use and understandable metric that can provide a real-time comprehension of how healthy their fish are. Furthermore, farms will also be able to use this metric in a time series to pinpoint when exactly health issues started to change, so they can then learn and apply mitigation factors in future incidents.

Digital ID distribution system and wallet
980937
Right now Vaultie is the issuer of any credential issued through its system. However, the building of a distribution system that would allow for independent organizations to issue and revoke credentials to its users would enable businesses, self-regulatory organizations, companies, or even universities to issue credentials to their customers/employees or members (“customers” or “users”). Customers would be able to carry these credentials in their digital wallet and prove, via blockchain, their affiliation to the issuer through the use of the credential. A digital credential would reduce barriers to access to gated services and create frameworks by which we could trust remote customers.

Optimizing the design of Enersion’s chiller to transition from prototype to commercial product
981471
Enersion’s chiller is at a point of transitioning from a larger footprint validated prototype system to an optimized commercial system that would be made for sale to customers, as such there is additional development that is required to have a system that is designed for manufacturability and deployment. The goal of this project is Research, Development and Deployment, wherein R&D will be performed on two aspects: reducing the overall physical footprint of the system and developing an assembly/deployment method to make the system plug-and-play. The outcome of the project will be a pilot system for in-lab operation/testing and the next steps would be having a de-risked system for deployment at a potential customer site in California.
