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.

This project entitled «Novel Ka Wideband Filters and Ancillaries» consists of developing advanced electronics onboard telecommunications satellites in order to meet the increasing demand for larger and faster satellite data throughput. This technology would improve the efficiency at which signal filters on satellites can process and separate multiple signals sent on different frequency channels. It would prevent these signals from interfering with each other while allowing their proper dispatch to the designated end users.

This project entitled «Fifth Generation Switch Actuator» consists of reducing the mass and size of a key mechanical component used aboard telecommunications satellites. This component is called an actuator and is the mechanism responsible for the reliable operation of signal switches. These switches are essential to the proper routing of signals coming into a satellite from a ground user and sent back to another ground user, or users.

This project entitled «Next Generation HTS Flexible Architecture Products» aims to develop state-of-the-art electronics components for telecommunications satellites to provide high data and information traffic throughput. More specifically, this development will yield technical advancements for a component called Output Multiplexer which is essentially responsible for combining separate signals being linked up to a satellite from different ground users and which need to be combined (multiplexed) on-board the satellite before being aggregately transferred to specific ground users.
