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.

ForYou: A game About Artificial Intelligence and Privacy Project
ForYou: A Game About Artificial Intelligence and Privacy will equip young people to consider and discuss the role of machine learning and recommendation algorithms in their lives and the impacts that these have on their privacy, in a way that is concrete and engaging.
The project places youth in the role of video creators who are attempting to gain a following and monetize their videos on a platform such as YouTube or TikTok.
This educational resource will give youth an opportunity to: 1) reflect on the ways in which they interact with AI in their day-to-day lives; 2) learn more about how AI and algorithms work; 3) understand the implications of AI and algorithms on their privacy, and; 4) learn how to take action to advocate for and design algorithms that are equitable and practice good stewardship of personally identifying information

Get Informed and Protect your Privacy Online
This project aims to create and disseminate Canada-wide legal information resources using plain language on online privacy rights and obligations. More specifically, AJEFO will develop legal news articles, plainlanguage infographics, a video clip, virtual legal information sessions and an educational resource for the general public.
The intensification of online activities and the growing need to connect in order to work, consume, study, interact socially, have fun, and even to understand and deal with legal issues, peaked in 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, in this digital sphere, members of the public continue to take risks every day and often lack information to better protect their privacy.
Faced with this reality, AJEFO will develop clear, simple and accessible information to empower Canadians and enable them to better control and protect the dissemination of their personal information online. Available in a variety of formats, these resources developed entirely in French will enable the general Francophone public across Canada to know, understand and defend their online privacy rights.

Privacy Report Card for Online Solutions Targeting Seniors
According to the World Economic Forum, 70% of seniors are now online. Many Canadian seniors track their medical conditions with remote monitoring health devices. Internet of Things (IoT) devices that provide services such as GPS tracking, automatic fall detection, as well as many other medical alert solutions are readily available in the Canadian market that focus on the elderly population and their caregivers. Hundreds of mobile apps, specifically designed for the elderly and their care givers are available on different app stores.
However, very little is known about the costs of using these devices or applications in terms of a new source for privacy leakage and security/safety risks. This project examines, through a comprehensive and systematic technical/experimental investigation, the security and privacy risks associated with such solutions that are commonly used by many Canadian elderly citizens and their caregivers.
The project will produce a public report card for online solutions designed for seniors and the elderly, summarizing the findings of the research investigation and presenting recommendations for improving these solutions in terms of effectiveness, security and privacy. The findings of this report will be provided online free. The project will also produce an academic paper detailing the full methodology and results, and technical recommendations.
