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.

Robotics implementation study

Agreement Number:

1028226

Duration: from Feb 1, 2025 to Dec 31, 2025
Description:

The firm will conduct an immersive review of all potential robotics applications that have the potential to assist with post production preparation of carbon fiber parts. Processing carbon fiber parts in preparation for paint is laborious. Upwards of 80% of that labor is not skilled, it is largely removing material. The final 20% is highly skilled. The firm believes that robotic automation in this area could reduce bottlenecks in production flow, retain staff in that area by reducing a lot of labor and allowing them to both operate the robot as well as use their skills, and generally increase revenues by improving throughput.
