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.

Multi Directional Single Phone Camera Recording Live Music Using AI
1030935
The project plan is to develop an AI-based camera system specifically designed for live music recording and streaming. Our technology will utilize a fixed smartphone as a camera, dynamically adjusting the recorded image based on which band member is playing. This will create a perception of camera movements such as zoom, pan, or tilt, enhancing the viewer's experience without the need for a videographer or video editor.
2. Project Goal
The primary goal of this project is to complete our partially developed sophisticated AI model that can identify and dynamically switch the focus between different band members based on their activity by creating "labels" for sections of the image and using our AI model to decide which label to cut to.
