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.

Advanced Logistics Through Heuristics and AI (ALTHAI)

Agreement Number:

970134

Duration: from Apr 1, 2021 to Jan 31, 2022
Description:

We shall develop advanced algorithms capable of providing end-to-end, touchless, in-transit, real-time, package-level monitoring of goods as they make their way through the supply chain. The algorithms will allows highly granular monitoring of the goods during transport, storage and transshipping, thereby mitigating todays huge losses and inefficiencies.
The algorithms will run on a multi-tier architecture: embedded in the the field devices that travel with the goods, in the cloud and in the front-end use application.

BanaLogic BODYGUARD Vehicle Scratch Detection Camera System - X-Ray Enhancement

Agreement Number:

970160

Duration: from Apr 1, 2021 to Jan 31, 2022
Description:

The company recently introduced BODYGUARD – a camera system that takes high definition pictures of vehicle body conditions as they are driven into a dealership or work shop for service. The current product offering consists of a number of high-speed, high definition cameras strategically positioned and angled to capture all sides and corners of the vehicle. However, it is difficult for the cameras or even human eyes to see the small dents and scratches on a dirty car. This project involves development of various technologies to intensify the contrast and contours of the dents and scratches on the images, and automatically identifies the dents and scratches using computer vision.
