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.

Smarter Privacy—A Service Design Approach to Public Engagement for AI Literacy of Smart Devices
n/a
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly embedded in smart devices and daily life, individuals are increasingly making decisions that affect their privacy, autonomy, and rights. Despite this, public understanding of AI’s role in data collection, processing, and decision-making remains limited. Improving AI literacy, specifically digital citizenship, may empower individuals to responsibly make informed privacy decisions or effectively exercise their rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
While AI literacy programs currently exist, they are largely limited to formal education or professional settings. This creates a potential inequity as many may not have the ability, capacity, or motivation to access AI literacy courses. This project takes a human-centred service design approach to bridge this AI literacy gap by engaging the public in codesigning strategies to reach a broader population.
