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.

Exploring the Moon using rovers is a high priority for the space community. This project will use the Moon-like terrain of Lanzarote, Spain, to answer a series of important operational and scientific questions for rover missions.
One goal is to achieve a deeper understanding of volcanism on the Earth and Moon. Another is to optimize mission control operations for future missions to allow rovers to carry out accurate scientific activities over a long period of time. This will be done, in part, by identifying the diversity of rocks in a given area and comparing the ability of rovers versus human teams to select lunar samples. The results of this project will help to create a plan for returning people safely to the Moon for longer missions. It will also create a large group of Canadian experts in scientific investigations and mission operations for future Moon exploration.
