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.

Development of innovative techniques for the chemical and biological characterization of micro and nano-plastics
976241
Monitoring the effects of micro- and nano-plastics on our oceans requires the following: identifying sources of contamination; ascertaining their biological impacts; developing reliable, validated detection methods; and producing specific reference materials. The Project addresses all of these aspects and could lead to novel and improved detection methods and the discovery of biological or chemical markers characteristic of plastic exposure. It will provide data on the extent and severity of plastic pollution in wastewater—one of the main sources of plastic pollution—and in the aquatic environment. It will also improve knowledge of the biological impacts of plastic pollution, allowing for better ocean impact assessments.
