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.

Rewind Artificial Intelligence
905234
The objective of this project is to add artificial intelligence to the Rewind platform and make use of the data that we have backed up for companies. Upon completion of this project we will be well positioned to quickly add additional platforms, and proactively alert customers when data disasters happen, analyze the data in their backups and recommend improvements for their online accounts, and generate reports that they aren't able to get elsewhere. We will add 1 full time engineering employee to the company, and double the monthly recurring revenue for Rewind from $75 USD K / month to $150 USD K / month within 12 months of completing the project.
