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.

Online Realtime Hyperspectral Material Analysis
1028803
This project develops a real-time hyperspectral analysis system for use on production conveyor belts at mining or mineral processing operations. Using visual and hyperspectral imaging with next generation onboard processing modules, it analyzes particle size, shape, volume, and material composition to detect contamination and ore grade variations. Built for harsh industrial environments, it features a rugged enclosure, with resistance to dust, moisture, chemical, shock and vibration. Running on Linux, it will be secure, stable and support MODBUS TCP and OPC UA for seamless automation. The design includes mechanical, electrical, and PCB engineering for a durable, high-performance solution that the mining industry requires.
