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.

New Business Development Project for Smart City Public Safety & Security
908356
Amika Mobile is a company focussed on public safety and security. Its flagship product is the Amika Mobility Server (AMS) platform that can run in the cloud, on-premise or as a hybrid. AMS can automatically discover mobile devices in public places such as airports, campus, shopping centers, entertainment venues and stadiums to issue alerts and receive responses from those affected by emergency situations. To this end Amika Mobile's distributed AMS architecture also addresses IoT and AI by allowing any sensor events to be relayed to the AMS and then intelligently processed to lock doors if there is an active shooter or lock buildings if there is a van running over individuals. This is why it is ideal for Smart Cities.
