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.

The project works to build the capacity of governments across the Caribbean to strengthen their institutional and human capacity to design and implement sound macroeconomic policies to promote growth and reduce poverty. The project works to achieve these objectives through delivery mechanisms such as providing technical assistance and training to long-term experts based in the region, as well as short-term advisory assignments, in-country workshops, and regional training seminars.
There are 10 technical specialists based in Barbados, where the Caribbean Regional Technical Assistance Center (CARTAC) is headquartered, who are engaged in supporting a wide range of economic areas: financial stability, tax administration, customs, financial sector supervision, macroeconomic programming, real sector statistics, external sector statistics, and public financial management (PFM).
