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.

Video Input Analysis
913367
The goal of this project is to assess and understand the current state-of-the-art methodology required to build a software application that is capable of visually inferring language from human facial and body expression. This research will be applied to a larger project which focuses on building a personality based human/computer interface which allows robotic devices to directly observe and respond to natural physical (and audio) user commands without requiring an intermediary method of input (such as a keyboard or smart phone).

Development of Enhanced Submarine and Torpedo Detection Technology for Manned and Unmanned Platforms
913431
There is a rapidly growing demand for anti-submarine warfare/ASW and ship surveillance systems, especially in regions concerned about China, North Korea, and Russia. There are many current and future requirements for unmanned systems to tow and dip acoustic sensors such as thin line passive towed arrays, directional sensors and compact sound sources. Some of this technology exists, but significant development work is still required to produce solutions that can be operated from these small platforms. The Firm intends to continue to develop compact passive and active acoustic sensing systems that can be operated from both unmanned and manned platforms.
