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.

Support for the Brain Trust for the Colombian Transition
5007063026 P002374001
This project aims to produce multiple, timely analysis products, undertake strategic advocacy activities, and serve as a special advisory group as requested for all stakeholders. The project also works to ensure that the wealth of knowledge acquired during the Colombian peace talk remains available and actively engaged during the transition out of armed conflict.
Project activities include: (1) operating an expert group for Colombia, focused on providing strategic analysis and advocacy that aims to promote a successful emergence out of armed conflict in Colombia; and (2) operating a separate brain trust for Venezuela, focused on facilitating a negotiated solution to Venezuela's complex political, economic, social and security crisis.
