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.

Physics-derived algorithms for quantum artificial intelligence
1026620
This project involves foundational research for developing quantum algorithms for classically intractable tasks in artificial intelligence (AI). Quantum physics principles and phenomena discovered in the last decade will be explored for their use in computationally challenging tasks in AI. Specifically, the project will embed primitive problems for these tasks into quantum circuits with thermalizing quantum dynamics in constrained Hilbert spaces and develop techniques to characterize the dynamical properties of these quantum systems. Using these physical principles, quantum algorithms will be formulated for complex problems in AI, namely probabilistic inference and automated planning, and the quantum resources required to tackle these will be estimated.

Eureka Cluster ITEA - I2DT - Intelligent Interoperable Digital Twins
1026811
As part of the international consortium project “I2DT”, this project will focus on creating an interoperability framework, methodology and tool support for constructing digital twins that can reflect complex systems with large-scale heterogeneous data and interactions. The project will address core technologies and application domains of interoperable digital twins and apply them to relevant areas like industrial production, smart cities, infrastructure asset management, wildfire protection and renewable energy resources. The project will also advance model-based development, integrate machine learning components, define a unified reference architecture and provide tool support for both engineering and operating digital twins.

Youth- Megan Giovannini
1026842
Bench Brewing wants to assist with the hiring of young talent to augment its current quality assurance and laboratory testing for its products including Research and Development. This will be done in the Laboratory/Operations group where the qualified graduate will do lab testing and plating of all our products to ensure no cross contamination. The graduate will also leverage the company's new ERP system to store and analyze data to ensure quality and stability of our craft beverages. The goal is to assist the new graduate to get career skills while employed in a good job and work environment with mentorship from senior leadership.
