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.

Training Centre for the 9th Brigade of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in Arsal
7388224 P006038001
The purpose of this project is to support the 9th Brigade of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to increase their skills and capabilities to secure the border town of Arsal. A purpose built but flexible (container based) training facility would be constructed simultaneously with a detailed ‘understanding’ phase, during which a baseline survey would be carried out in the communities. Using the Systems Approach to Training methodology, the results of this phase would inform the detail of the training and mentoring to be imparted to the Brigade over the lifetime of the project with changes made following regular reviews of outcome. It is anticipated that the bulk of the training would be delivered to Company sized Groups (90 personnel); more specialised training would be delivered to the Officers and other specialised groups (e.g. community and police liaison) separately and as the requirement and changing nature of the mission became apparent over time.
