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.

Advancements to Tidal Coat Systems by Implementing Scalability
1033041
ACL is working to develop the 3rd generation of these machines which is a scalable machine to fit in a smaller footprint.
ACL has developed and patented a Tidal Coat Fluidized Bed coating machine and system that will automatically coat a watertight door and fixtures with first pass quality in under 2 minutes. These machines are being considered for deployment to foreign allied Navy’s maintenance centres however there is a requirement for a one coat system and a system that will fit into a smaller footprint.
