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.

Toward a Sustainable & Complete Valorization of Bauxite Residues - A Pilot Study
1029526
INNORD develops innovative technologies for extraction and separation of rare earth elements and other critical metals essential for a sustainable future. The company has developed an innovative and proprietary process to extract rare earths elements in a sustainable way from iron rich industrial waste such as magnet scrap. As this technology is demonstrated on a larger scale, INNORD is now committed to work with major partners from various industries to tackle different industrial and mining waste issues where iron is a major hindrance. INNORD developed a process that could extract value from bauxite residue, reduce more than 70% of waste volume and produce valuable by-products. The implementation of this technology would free up waste storage space and extend the life of the alumina refinery plant in Saguenay, which will help to maintain and create jobs in Quebec. The production of scandium and other valuable by-products will contribute positively to the renewable energy sector in Canada.
