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.

Cooperative Network of Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles Protection, Trustworthiness, and Resilient Recovery Subject to Faults and Cyber Attacks
CFPMN2-037
The Micro-net will develop new methods to support the systematic design of mixed initiative systems (MIS) for effective collaboration between humans and autonomous systems (AS). This project will develop algorithms that optimize the performance of human-AS teams over time; AS that learn the human’s cognitive state and preferences and adapt accordingly; AS that trade off system performance with ease of understanding of behaviour; and adaptive interfaces that change based on the cognitive and affective state of the operator, which will ultimately promote specificity of trust and transparency.

The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI)
15822
Through contribution agreements, the CFLI provides financial assistance to cover all or part of the costs of relatively modest projects conceived, designed and implemented mainly by local authorities, institutions or organizations. The program aims to assist in the advocacy of Canada’s values and interests, and to strengthen Canada’s bilateral relations with foreign countries and their civil societies. The CFLI also seeks to provide humanitarian assistance in the immediate aftermath of natural disasters and emergencies.
