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.

Project aimed at making the regulation of short-term rentals more efficient for the City of Montreal
The Short-Term Rental Enforcement Fund aims to limit short-term rentals that take away units from the long-term rental market across the country. This is accomplished by providing grant funding to municipalities and Indigenous communities with existing strict regulatory regimes to support the local enforcement of short-term rental restrictions in an effort to make more long-term housing units available in Canada.

Convergence Renewed: Advancing Global Blended Finance with Canada’s Support
7475224 P017133001
This project, P017133, aims to support Convergence to strengthen and scale the global blended finance ecosystem for increased mobilized private capital towards sustainable development and poverty reduction in emerging markets and developing economies. It will do so through supporting enhanced data transparency and benchmarking activities, expand capacity building activities, ensure regional representation, and strengthen policy engagement and thought leadership on blended finance. In turn, these activities will contribute to a more enabling environment for private investments in emerging economies by lowering barriers to entry, more standardized approaches across actors, and increase the supply of high-quality, investible opportunities.
