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.

Fighting Disinformation Warfare with Artificial Intelligence - Using machine learning to identify and combat disinformation attacks
2918491
In order to understand how to accurately and rapidly identify disinformation attacks, the applicant proposes to analyze content in existing databases, which contain extensive materials already gathered from previously identified disinformation attacks. They will then employ artificial intelligence, combining their Dark Crawler, SentiStrength, Posit and TensorFlow, to compare known disinformation attacks to "normal" information harvested from social media, in order to calculate the differences in language used during disinformation attacks. This will allow them to develop typologies of past and present hostile activities against Canada and other Allied nations, identify indicators of change in public opinion (esp. as they relate to hostile disinformation activities), identify the social media techniques of hostile actors (and how best to respond to them), as well as to undertake cross-cultural analyses, to determine how hostile actors seek to fuel tensions and undermine social cohesion by exploiting cultural sensitivities.
