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.

Rovers will play an important role in exploring and mapping the rugged terrain on the Moon. They will also be used to find important resources like water or titanium, which will enable astronauts to conduct longer missions.
This project will use the moon-like terrain of Lanzarote, Spain, to demonstrate the ability of rovers to map geological variations across an area. It will also test different tool combinations and search methods to identify which ones are best used by rovers to find and map resources. This project will increase Canadian mining and exploration capabilities on Earth and in space, and train the next generation of highly qualified Canadian personnel in planetary science and exploration. Some of the tools to be tested can be used for better environmental monitoring, which will contribute to the health and well-being of all Canadians.
