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.

Velma’s House 24/7 Safe Space
MB220101
This 8-month project will provide safety and supports for women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA in Winnipeg. This will be achieved through increasing capacity to ensure the space is open 24/7. The space is low barrier and culturally safe and offers Elder supports, cultural programming, basic needs support, access to washrooms, and a safe place to rest for all women who are experiencing domestic and street violence.

GraphQL Integration and Caching
993642
Swarmio’s Ember Hub platform is built on a distributed microservice architecture that exposes a GraphQL API through a federated gateway for flexibility and efficiency.
As traffic on the platform increases, response times and throughput become greater concerns. Horizontal platform scaling can improve performance to a degree, but implementation of a caching layer is almost always required in modern application deployments at scale. Standard HTTP caching does not suffice in this case.
This initiative will allow the Ember Hub platform to serve significantly higher user counts, increasing responsiveness while reducing infrastructure costs.

Quantum magnetometer based on Pauli spin blockade in a double quantum dot at the ultimate atomic scale - Phase 1
994654
This project
mimics Nature by building and studying a man-made Pauli spin blockade
magnetometer from our core expertise in (i) single spin physics in nanoscale
devices at the Institut quantique (IQ) for experiments and McGill University for
theory, (ii) scanning probe capabilities and nanofabrication expertise at the
National Research Council, and (iii) the ground-breaking work on single atom
circuits by Quantum Silicon Inc. (QSi). This QSP project is intended to be a first
proof-of-concept to demonstrate the viability of our approach towards
marketable quantum sensors within Quantum Silicon’s product portfolio.
