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.

EMCCD (electron multiplying charge-coupled device) detectors are highly sensitive cameras that take images in low-light conditions using photon signals. This technology extends the boundaries of what is observable. Canadian EMCCD technology is recognized internationally for its unparalleled imaging sensitivity. The main space applications for this technology are astronomy and the detection of space debris. A potential terrestrial application is biomedical imaging. The purpose of the Nüvü Caméras project is to improve the newest large-format EMCCD, which has a larger field of view (the area covered by an image), primarily by increasing the new EMCCD's frame rate.

The proposed project is to design, develop and integrate advanced machine learning and data analytics methodologies to automatically examine time series of Two-Line Elements (TLE) of space objects in SSN (Space Surveillance Network) catalog and detect novel/anomalous trends. A two-line element set (TLE) is a data format encoding a list of orbital elements of an Earth-orbiting object for a given point in time.
Furthermore, the advanced methodologies will identify the root cause of the detected anomalies as either invalid TLE (due to erroneous satellite tracking data) or out-of-character space object behaviour.
The proposed “TLE Trend Analytics” solution will redefine satellite monitoring and space intelligence through its automation and artificial intelligence capabilities, and will result in increased space situational awareness and increased reliability for the Canadian national defence.

P002865001 & P002865002: Institutional Support to the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD 2017-2020
7380673 P002865001 P002865002
P002865001 & P002865002: This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Program of Work and Budget (OECD-PWB). The OECD uses this fund, along with other donors funding, to achieve the operational and strategic activities of the Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC), a leading international forum of major funders of development cooperation.
The OECD-DAC’s activities include: (1) reporting an analysis of financing for development; (2) conducting peer reviews of development cooperation programs; (3) developing guidelines, standards, and policies on good development practices, including gender equality, to enhance the quality and effectiveness of development cooperation; and (4) strengthening partnerships with key donors to prioritize and address key international development issues.
Canada’s support to OECD-DAC contributes to promoting coordinated, innovative international action to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in developing countries and improve their financing.
