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.

The President of the Treasury Board is responsible for the general administration of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. Part of these duties is conducting a mandatory review of the Access to Information Act every five years, pursuant to subsection 93(1) of the Act.

Additionally, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat is reviewing the Privacy Act with the intention of preparing a report on possible legislative updates. The research conducted by the recipient will respond to Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat policy approaches and provide further insight into challenges affecting Indigenous peoples related to access to information, personal data, and privacy, as well as opportunities for improvement.

The project will also support the ongoing implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act by examining impacts that the Access to Information Act, the Privacy Act, and potential policy approaches may have on Indigenous rights and interests described in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Overall, the project directly supports Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat legislative obligations and mandate. It will help strengthen the federal access to information and privacy regimes, and in turn, the effectiveness of public service management.
