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.

Enhancement of phytoremediation and disturbed site reclamation using PGPR and other microbial consortiums.
864122
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enhanced phytoremediation systems (PEPS) have been developed in Canada for remediation of soil contaminated with salt and/or petroleum hydrocarbons and to increase plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses including drought, poor quality soils and/or pet urine and other garden stressors. We will be studying the effectiveness of PGPR applications ± other commercial products to remediate and re-vegetate contaminated/poor quality/stressed soils. Three studies will be undertaken to look at the ability of PGPR to reduce the amount of time to remediate and re-vegetate these contaminated and/or marginal soils.x000D
