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.

Development of a novel, mechanical semi-solids solidification treatment system

Agreement Number:

911027

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

Develop a mechanical system to facilitate the solidification of semi-solid waste streams. This system will be designed to be mobile, so that it can be easily transported and set up on the job site. This mechanical process will homogeneously incorporate a dry solidification reagent to the semi-solid waste stream. This system will provide improved management and control of reagent cost and treatment efficiencies, optimizing the reagent dosage and performance. Another component of this project is to develop a liquid-phase reagent application methodology for the inline incorporation of solidification reagents into various processes.
