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.

Addressing Gendered Violence against Inuit Women: A review of police policies and practices in Inuit Nunangat
-
Given high rates of violence against Inuit women, the recipient stresses need to improve relations with police and social services. There is a paucity of research reflecting Inuit women's perceptions of and experiences with the police, as well as the issues and challenges faced when policing Inuit communities. The recipient emphasizes the importance of ensuring good first encounters between police services and Inuit women. If these critical first interactions are poor, women may be deterred from pursuing further legal action against their abuser. Many Inuit women do not have a good understanding of the Canadian justice system, which is very different from Inuit cultural norms. The recipient will examine international policing practices with an emphasis on innovative government responses to improve service delivery to Indigenous communities.
