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.

A study to generate insights on targeted investments or policy and program changes, as well as to investigate and identify areas where critical opportunities, gaps or challenges exist with the view to make tangible interventions to further assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their ability to grow and scale up their business, including accessing new market opportunities in Canada and abroad.
The Project will entail an accelerated and ongoing interview process with 10€“12 SMEs within the January-March 2019 period. Led by a Special Advisor to the Minister, the focus will be to identify concrete and actionable recommendations to further strengthen the ability of SMEs to scale up and become more export ready. The Special Advisor will be supported by the Brookfield Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship who will provide supplemental external research and administrative support.
The initiative is designed to tightly connect with the live work currently underway in the department. It is expected that once in motion; it will identify insights that could generate a continuum of real time recommendations.
