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.

P000269001: Transparency in the Extractive Sector
P000269002: Natural Resources for Development Program in Indonesia

P000269001: This project aims to ensure that the Government of Indonesia achieves compliance and builds momentum to remain in compliance with the global standard set by the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).
Governments and companies who are signatories to the EITI agree to publicly disclose taxes and royalties paid to the government from the extractive sector. An independent auditor then cross-checks the figures reported by companies and those reported by the government, identifies any discrepancies, seeks to resolve them, and publishes a report on the results of that process. The government is then responsible for communicating the contents of that report to the public. The public benefits from receiving reliable information about the extractive sector and is better able to hold the government and the extractive companies to account as a result.
The primary activities of this project include: (1) helping stakeholders in the public sector, in civil society, and within the extractive industry become better informed about the nature of the EITI and the types of revenues and royalties generated by the extractive sector; and (2) providing technical assistance to the government and industry stakeholders in the areas of reporting and monitoring revenues and royalties generated by the extractive sector and developing communications and outreach materials.
P000269002: The project aims to assist Indonesia to improve extractive sector governance and maximize opportunities for the sector’s positive contribution to poverty reduction and shared prosperity in Indonesia. The project supports central and subnational governments to better coordinate, formulate and implement sustainable policy reforms in the extractive sector. It increases access for the public and the private sector to extractive sector policy planning and development. It increases availability of evidence-based approaches to policy making and the quality and mechanisms for sector monitoring and oversight. The project strives to increase the benefits received by the Indonesian citizens from extractive sector revenues and reduce negative environmental impact of the sector development.

The Research component of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Class Grant and Contribution Program to support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
More specifically, this project entitled "" CASSIOPE/e-POP Pre-Launch Preparation and Science Support "" has the following objectives:
-Complete the scientific preparation before the mission launch
-Complete preparatory work at the ePOP science operation center, at the Canadian SuperDARN network, and at the Canadian Space Science Data Portal (CSSDP)
-Optimize the science operation of ePOP to maximize the science return of the mission.

It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
More specifically, this project entitled ""Development of the Canadian Ionosphere and Atmosphere Model"" has the following objectives:
• To establish a prototype (first interactive version) of a whole atmosphere model that extends from the surface to the inner magnetosphere and an associated research program. When achieved this effort would encompass the model and its maintenance, associated scientific activity both in terms of fundamental investigations of this region of the atmosphere and interactions with the observational community.
• To provide support to the Swarm and e-POP missions through intercomparisons between the model results and the observations from these missions.
The long-term objective of this project is to establish in Canada a whole atmosphere model which extends from the surface to the inner magnetosphere and an associated research program.
