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.

Towards smart and sustainable pavement structures in Canada
964391
However, given the increase in paved surfaces and roadways, and in light of recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), nanotechnology, polymer science, sensory systems, and recycling, there is a school of thought that paved roadways can turn into multifunctional infrastructures. This Project seeks to reduce unplanned expensive surface repair activities, promote the use of high-performance pavement materials and enhance the understanding of weather impacts on road conditions and the safety of users. The overall goal of this Project is to develop an economically viable smart pavement surface that can contribute to lowering the life cycle cost of paved highways and optimizing safety in transportation and the movement of freight.
