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.

The availability of high-speed Internet, including in the underserved areas of Canada's northern and rural regions, will be greatly improved with proposed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) communications satellites. These satellites will use wider bandwidth radio signals than existing geosynchronous satellites, in a challenging environment that includes additive white noise, time-varying path delay, loss and Doppler frequency shift, and other propagation effects.
The objective of the project is to design and implement a platform that simulates LEO satellite channel impairments, as seen by a terminal frequently switching between satellites in order to maintain a communications path. By emulating the effects on the wideband radio signals, the satellite radio test system will allow developers to test their technologies under realistic conditions in a controlled lab environment before launch. The test platform will ensure that solutions providing broadband services to a large number of users are reliable, and capable of meeting the demanding requirements for applications such as remote backhaul, secure low latency end-to-end communications, and high-speed Internet access.
