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.

Crowdsourcing Framework for Last Mile Delivery By Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain
952656
The purpose of the project is to develop an efficient and effective open framework for last-mile delivery (LMD) to reduce cost and optimize the delivery time. The proposed framework will leverage emerging technologies and business models. In particular, it will utilize artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and crowdsourcing techniques. The outcome of the project will be an open and extensible framework by design. In particular, the framework will be agnostic towards the operational environment (e.g., city road network, district planning) and carrier resources.

NDT Technique for Classifying Wire Breaks in PCCP
952555
The purpose of the project is to develop a process for classifying failures in a PCCP system using Remote Field Testing (RFT). Given feedback from asset owners in industry, we understand the primary failure mechanisms to be:
1. Corrosion of the PCCP pre-tensioning wires (and sometimes the underlying cylinder)
2. Embrittlement failures of the wires.
Russell NDE Systems wishes to embark on a course of controlled experiments to determine the fingerprints of both failure mechanisms in RFT data.
