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 Parallel Module Control and Addition of Networking Capability
912404
Expand the technical engineering capability of our team in order to enhance our scope of operation within the sector of fossil fuel generator replacement with clean battery power. The funded project will allow us to advance two key projects:
• Expandable “building block” battery system able to work in series and in parallel with automatic module shut off creating system redundancy.
• WIFI enabled programing, diagnostics and operator App.
This will enhance Hybrid Power Solutions’ competitive advantage in the off-road vehicle segment (drones, mining, fork lifts, etc). We have analyzed two key reasons responsible for the overwhelming demand for this type of product: a shift to EV in response to stricter Tier 4 diesel emission standards and the lowering of lithium battery prices, making the transition from lead acid highly advantageous.
A network enabled system will allow for over the air updates to software, diagnostics and re-programming with simple steps performed by the end user. It

Alternative Plants for PEPSystems Applications
911249
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) – Enhanced Phytoremediation Systems (PEPSystems™) combines plants with PGPR to increase the tolerance of the plants to biotic and abiotic stresses including contaminants, drought or excessive soil moisture, and poor quality soils. The current commercial system uses a variety of grasses with Pseudomonad bacteria. We will be studying the use of alternative, deeper rooting species, including alfalfa, and other bacteria species for improved remediation of salt, hydrocarbon and metals and for reclamation. We will also conduct research using PGPR and flowering/other perennial plant species to develop a low maintenance plant mixture that will be aesthetically pleasing and thrive on poor quality soils.
