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.

Data Pipeline Deployment Software
905962
Mage Networks uses data pipelines, a special type of multi-hop mesh networks, to provide high data rate Internet access to rural areas. These data pipelines require specific design considerations to guarantee a minimum supported data rate. This project aims at developing a software that designs these data pipelines. It selects the sites, the type of MagiNodes used at that site, the transmit power setting, and the direction of the antennas guaranteeing a minimum data rate with a minimum number of units.

Service Offering and Information Generation for Resource Limited Craft Breweries
906005
The overall objective is to provide resource limited craft breweries access to important data regarding the efficiency of the production process. To achieve this goal, this project will fill three knowledge gaps within the craft brewery industry:
- Point Contribution Mapping of wastewater across various sized craft breweries;
- Quality Assurance and Control (QA/QC) services and
- Assessment of Impact
The three aforementioned objectives will all contribute to the overarching goal of developing templated materials as a means to facilitate national knowledge transfer to assist the craft brewery industry in planning and troubleshooting as it pertains to these three objectives.
