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.

Science and Technology Development for Exoplanet Detection with the Proposed POET Mission
The discovery of Earth-like planets and their atmospheric characterization are a top astrophysics priority. Stars that are smaller than half a solar mass offer potentially the best prospects. Consequently, the Photometric Observations of Extrasolar Transits (POET) mission, which focuses on this question, has been identified as a high scientific priority for space astronomy.
The project aims to optimize the yield of new Earth-like extrasolar planets with the proposed POET micro-satellite mission. The main objectives are to assemble a sample of the 100 best candidate host stars for detecting Earth-like planets with POET, and to test the use of commercial low-cost infrared cameras to improve sensitivity. The validation of commercial infrared cameras for accurate observations could further facilitate their adoption for remote-sensing in disciplines well beyond Astronomy, such as Planetary Exploration, Atmospheric Sciences, and Earth System Science. The stream of junior researchers trained in the POET projects will be well positioned to lead these scientific and technological developments.
