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.

Light-matter interfaces for quantum networks
962267
Modern information society is highly dependent on the ability to communicate securely. However, current techniques for guaranteeing security are threatened by the development of quantum computers, with potentially devastating consequences for many sectors of society including defense, finance, and healthcare. One promising potential solution to this threat is quantum-secured communication. Unfortunately, realizing such quantum communication over long distances is challenging, because, in contrast to classical information, quantum information cannot be copied or amplified. This challenge can be overcome by the development of so-called quantum repeaters that rely on creating and storing quantum entanglement
for short-distance links, which are then connected by quantum teleportation.
Quantum memories are essential components of such quantum repeaters.
The present Project is devoted to designing quantum memories that can
operate under real-world conditions and that make it possible to use the
available communication channels efficiently.

Kiyam- Ile a La Crosse CSP Implementation Phase 2
21666
Ile a La Crosse and the team supporting safety and wellness have been working in earnest improving safety outcomes in their community. The proposed activities will strengthen community knowledge and capacity associated with addressing on-going crime, loss of connectedness and understanding around Metis identity and culture. This final phase of funding will support the delivery of a community symposium on physical safety and crime prevention.
