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.

Opportunity study for pooling Seasea technology
GC-2935
This contribution supports an opportunity study to evaluate the possibility of integrating the video-based beluga whale detection technologies used in a scientific monitoring program into the network of connected sites of the “Window on Belugas” project, an immersive interpretation and scientific research activity on beluga whales offered at several sites in the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park, as well as in the area targeted for its expansion. The linking of technologies will enhance the awareness-raising activity and support the sustainability of the project by optimizing resources between partners.
