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.

Heighliner
910486
Manifold will create an orchestrator for kubernetes clusters based on performance and compute cost input metrics. This will allow cluster Federation - a feature that has appeared and disappeared from kubernetes, as failed attempts, in both the core and in proprietary implementations. Cluster Federation allows multiple clusters to span providers and allow the orchestration of pods through the Federation. The challenge, and risk, is demonstrated how previous attempts by leaders in the community, have failed.

Semantic search on audio pre-transcription
910628
The goal of the project is to improve information retrieval and understanding from audio content. The purpose of this improvement is to address market needs in a variety of industries that handle audio content as a primary data source. Example industries include national defence, call centres, and social media content processing. Initial interested customers include Innovapost, Department of National Defence, and Steelcase. All three require improved information extraction and analysis on audio content where transcription alone is insufficient or underperforming.
