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.

Small-scale Fisheries Development in Nunavut
2021-CN-000668
A three-year project to create small scale community-owned commercial fisheries in Arviat, Kinngait, and Sanikiluaq. In partnership with Research institutes from Université du Québec à Rimouski and Marine Institute at Memorial University, the project will identify fishing opportunities by 1) determining harvest levels 2) establishing potential markets for harvesters. By doing fisheries tests and surveys in the first year, the project will determine the state of the fish stocks in the three communities mentioned above. It will also initiate experimental fisheries frameworks in Sanikiluaq and Kinngait by 2025. These exploratory fisheries will lead to the commercial operation of whitefish fishery in Arviat by 2021. Fisheries are integral to Nunavut’s economy as well as contributing to the cultural identity of the territory.
