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.

Preparing Canada sponsored quantum-safe innovations for real-world deployment - QKD Networks & key management
947401
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a cybersecurity technology that has the potential to provide long-term network protection but has yet to be demonstrated to satisfy the security and functional requirements for government use. This project will endeavor to integrate a QKD Key Management System (QKD-KMS) into a simulated high-assurance network, identifying and closing security gaps in the QKD-KMS architecture that fail to meet high-assurance requirements. These simulations will provide metrics to help identify suitable high-assurance use cases with the final goal of demonstrating a proof-of-concept integration of the QKD-KMS system into a centralized key management facility.
