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.

Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction-related Disinformation - Phase II
7474124 P016752001
In response to the proliferation of highly damaging disinformation campaigns concerning weapons of mass destruction (WMD), this project will build on the highly successful pilot initiative, which developed a concerted and coordinated platform to counter all manner of WMD disinformation. With an initial focus on Russia’s relentless false WMD allegations as part of its illegal war in Ukraine, and spear-headed by Canada on behalf of the G7 Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction (GP), this next phase looks to expand in scope, providing tailored and more nuanced region-specific tools and materials for diplomats to address the broader range of WMD disinformation threats globally, with greater emphasis on disinformation campaigns in Africa, the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific region and Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as keeping a large emphasis on Ukraine.
