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.

Smart Open Data Assistant (SODA) v1.0

Agreement Number:

Duration: from Feb 3, 2020 to Mar 31, 2021
Description:

Over the past decade, public organizations have made huge investments in open data initiatives. However, in most cases these initiatives have fallen short to serve majority of users, because in practice open data is only open to small elite of technical specialists who know how to find, interpret and use it, as well as to those that can afford to employ them. This project is phase 2 of 4 to research and develop a novel solution to make open data more accessible, comprehensible, and usable for non-experts.
