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.

IRXV High Performance PoC

Agreement Number:

1028497

Duration: from Feb 17, 2025 to May 23, 2025
Description:

This project is a key component of a larger initiative to develop a virtualized ingress monitoring solution to enhance network management and scalability for cable operators. By leveraging software-defined architectures, this solution seeks to optimize performance, reduce operational complexity, and improve cost efficiency. This specific project aims to develop a high-performance proof of concept (PoC) prototype of key elements of the MVP of this solution to validate its scalability and reliability under real-world operating conditions.

LVC - 3rd Generation Quantum Computer with 2 Logical Qubits

Agreement Number:

1028810

Duration: from Feb 17, 2025 to Aug 30, 2027
Description:

Achieving fault-tolerance through brute-force error correction schemes is expected to require a superconducting quantum processor with millions of physical qubits. While recent experiments have successfully demonstrated the feasibility of error-correction in principle, the hardware overhead seems prohibitive for a commercially relevant machine. In this project, the firm will introduce an alternative pathway to achieve fault-tolerance with superconducting qubits that has the potential to significantly reduce the error-correction overhead.

Greater Montreal River Parkway (GMRP)

Duration: from Feb 17, 2025 to Mar 31, 2028
Description:

The aim of the Greater Montreal River Parkway (GMRP) project is to consolidate and enhance the recreational infrastructure of the St. Lawrence Seaway dyke in order to improve the public's contact with the river with the added benefit of providing active transportation access via a route open to pedestrians and cyclists that extends over 13km.

Currently, within the limits of the project, at the top of the dike there is a carriage road used primarily for operations and maintenance of Seaway facilities, as well as a partially asphalted cycle path. At the bottom of the dyke, on the shore of the St. Lawrence River, there are footpaths resulting from the informal and repeated passage of walkers. The CMM wishes to improve, formalise and perpetuate the existing recreational infrastructure over a distance of 13.4 km. The Promenade's surroundings will include several elements designed to meet users' needs:
- Creation of 8 rest areas and 14 observation points;
- Addition of 11 staircases or access slopes at defined points to provide a link between the top and bottom of the dyke.
- Installation of marker posts and interpretation panels along the route;
- Complete paving of the cycle path and the carriageway at the top of the dyke;
- Formalizing 9.0 km of footpath at the bottom of the dyke and adding 4.4 km of footpath at the top of the dyke.
- Adding an Ecoflo toilet block at the Samuel De-Champlain rest area.
The location of this infrastructure will be determined on the basis of physical and environmental constraints and the specific features of the site and its natural environment. In addition, this project will be carried out in harmony with the existing facilities of the RécréoParc water sports area in Sainte-Catherine.
