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.

Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

In the emerging commercial space exploration sector, space companies will deliver government and private payloads to the Lunar surface in each mission. A single spacecraft will carry several payloads, each with different and potentially conflicting priorities and operations requirements. Many will generate a large amount of data that could be left behind on the Moon due to constrained data transfer rates.
The project aims at developing a modular multi-payload communications and data management system that can be easily installed on spacecraft. This system will provide end-to-end data security and integrity for payloads, offer dynamic downlink prioritization for payload data, manage multi-payload command and control operations, provide surface communications for deployed payloads and provide lander-based payload data storage and advanced data processing applications.
This new system will enable space delivery companies to offer high quality of service to their payload customers and ensure that operators can receive all the data that is most relevant to their mission objectives.
