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.

E12456 E-vib Eurostars

Agreement Number:

913676

Duration: from Sep 1, 2018 to Aug 31, 2020
Description:

Development and testing of seismic source electric vibrators utilizing direct drive (linear actuator) motor technology which when successfully operational, will represent a major innovation in seismic imaging. These electric vibrators will produce signals with wider bandwidth and lower acoustic distortion than conventional hydraulic vibrators. They will be safer and less intrusive to the environment than explosive sources, and considerably cheaper than both.

GREEN YOUTH: sustainability and resilience of buried structures

Agreement Number:

913716

Duration: from Sep 1, 2018 to Mar 31, 2019
Description:

The 2019 version of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code is adding requirements for owners to consider sustainability and resilience of their structures such as buried structures. A sustainable product balances economic, social, cultural and environmental interests to meet infrastructure needs. A resilient structure can adapt to changes such as extreme hydraulic events. AIL intends to develop a design method to for our buried structures to meet sustainability and resilience objectives. This project involves evaluating the impact of extreme hydraulic events on buried structures with the goal of understanding of how buried structures can be designed to better adapt to climate change while while improving our sustainability metrics.
