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.

Advanced Antenna and Electronic Technologies for Dually Polarized Direct Radiating Arrays
22STDPQ22
The satellite market is currently shifting toward LEO constellations. Those new missions calls for phased array antennas which up to now are typically operating in single polarization. Combining two phased array antennas in a dual polarization operation represents a great advantage in terms of real estate and cost effectiveness, both aspects being crucial for satellite operators.
The project purpose is to develop the necessary technologies to enable the combination of two polarization in one phased array antenna. This requires developing antenna architecture but also advanced Radio frequency (RF) components in order to maximize efficiency and reduce the electronic front end foot print.
The expected outcome will be a reference architecture and electronics to support MDA’s new product line of dual polarization phased array antennas.
Those LEO constellations will ultimately provide broadband access to remote parts where it is not economically viable to develop traditional broadband services and help closing the digital divide.

Vulnerability Mitigation of a Quantum Source for Space-Based Quantum communication
22STDPT04
Satellites are critical infrastructure in our technologically advancing world. Daily, we use satellites to navigate, predict weather, and communicate. A successful cyberattack against space infrastructure could be devastating. To prevent such attack, satellites encrypt their communications using keys loaded before launch. If those keys are ever compromised after launch to space, there is no way to load new keys.
QEYnet is developing a solution to this problem using a technology called quantum key distribution (QKD). In QKD, keys are sent to the satellite using photons. Due to the laws of quantum mechanics, any attempt at eavesdropping on a QKD system can be detected, making the keys highly secure.
Though QKD does hold incredible promise, imperfections in the QKD hardware can result in unintended security vulnerabilities. This project will further advance QEYnet’s testing of novel countermeasures to these vulnerabilities, and advance QEYnet’s QKD technology toward commercial readiness.
