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.

Baraa El-Kadri set out looking for an institute willing to create a blockchain centre of excellence and support the development of a panel of industry experts that can provide idea validation services for SMEs. Ryerson University accepted the challenge and plans to establish a consortium of leading researchers in the area of blockchain technology to support the development of blockchain technology with at least five Canadian SMEs. The BRTB will be led by the Blockchain Review Panel (BRP). This panel of experts and IRAP representatives will in turn identify additional Canadian researchers to support SMEs as affiliate members. Through an online application, the BRP and affiliate members will be called upon to work directly with approved SMEs to develop an action plan that includes: a review of their technology and proposed application, potential funding opportunities, potential applied research opportunities and a list of potential partners.
