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.

Machine learning identification of pollutants and other debris in Canadian waterways
993367
The collaborators aim to enhance an AI-based computer vision program so it can be deployed to monitor Canadian waterways and identify problem areas for plastic pollution in need of remediation. The proposed project takes Canadian (NRC) expertise in computer vision for the identification of ice and pairs that with German (DFKI) expertise in computer vision expertise in the identification of plastic to meet the Oceans Challenge Program's need for pollution remediation. The project takes an existing German computer vision program that can identify plastic in ice free waterways and applys it to Canadian waters. Because a computer vision algorithm trained to identify plastic in rivers could be confused by floating ice, it is seen as a necessary improvement to the model to train it to distinct between ice and plastic litter. The outcomes of the project can add benefit of helping to understand plastic waste situation in Canadian rivers.
