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.

Thermal Paint Development
999892
Target shooting training has evolved greatly in last decade, using thermal detection for the target hits is the new norm. But steel has some inherent issues with thermal detection. The steel is unrecognizable using thermal devices as the it reaches thermal equilibrium rapidly with its surrounding leaving little detection possibilities through any known thermal device hence no current way to engage steel targets for thermal weapons.
A thermal signature enabled target made up with steel would be a revolutionary change in the industry. This can be achieved by coating the steel target with a customized layer of material that has reflectance in thermal (infra range) so that it is detectable even in the dark using thermal weapon device.
The project's objective is to develop and test a Thermal Paint that acts as an image intensifier under the use of Thermal Devices. Future variations of this paint may have applications in defense, & search & rescue.
