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.

Lab Technician (Chemist)
1005731
The firm has achieved a minimum viable product (MVP) for the Actipack sheet in a batch process in the laboratory. They also scaled from producing small 2.5 x 2.5 cm samples to large sheets of 20 x 30 cm.
The next challenge is scaling up the active film production to a semi-automated continuous in-line process that will allow them to produce large quantities of film in a roll format. This step is critical to reach a commercially-viable product.
The lab technician (Chemist) will work with the existing team of scientists and engineers to:
1) optimize antibacterial formulation to reduce overall cost
2) adapt all chemical reactions for large scale in-line production
3) explore new chemistries to accelerate/simplify existing chemical processes
