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.

AI Assist: Leveraging Large Language Models to increase productivity of border security
1025757
This exploratory project focuses on leveraging large language models (LLMs) to enhance productivity and awareness in edge locations, such as border security, warehouses, and retail. The Firm will investigate methods to derive insights from large datasets while ensuring security and privacy. The project will explore the potential of LLMs for vision analysis, testing their capabilities to interpret images, videos, and scenes. Use cases under consideration include border control, health and safety in warehouses, and shop analytics in retail. Market research and customer discussions will guide the identification of viable applications.
