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.

Biologically inspired online novelty detection
964398
Artificial Intelligence (AI) based systems that have the ability to detect novelty is important because unexpected movement or the presence of unfamiliar objects are highly relevant for movement planning. In this case,
the use of drones for infrastructure inspection is explicitly dependent on a robust novelty detection system where it is much more important to detect that something is wrong than it is to successfully classify exactly what the
problem is. This Project seeks to explore and evaluate a variety of novelty detection algorithms, including both traditional machine learning algorithms and the more biologically-inspired algorithms. The Project will evaluate the
computational cost of running these algorithms online, the ability of these systems to learn on-line to adjust their expectations, and the robustness of their novelty detection on infrastructure-relevant tasks. Direct applications of
this system would be logistics infrastructure inspection, including railway lines, bridges, shipping containers and transmission-line inspections.
