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.

Extraction of Lithium from black mass and Lithium Hydroxide production
1044229
The Project, a collaboration between the NRC and NORAM Electrolysis Systems Inc. (NESI) includes three work scopes. The NRC will provide NESI with a Lithium rich brine produced via two lithium extraction processes, a solvent-based approach and a Lithium leaching approach. NESI will process the Lithium streams using NESI's proprietary electrolysis and pre-treatment technologies. Then, NESI will take the electrochemical cell products and further process them by evaporation crystallization and other concentration and purification methods to form a battery grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM), a sulfuric acid stream, and a salt recycle stream. NESI will analyze the LHM and acid product and provide an impurity profile. Based on dialogue with NESI and results produced throughout the Project, the NRC will provide novel membrane composite materials for use in the NESI electrolysis cells. NESI will perform electrolysis with the novel membrane composites to quantify process improvements resulting from the novel membranes.
