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.

Canadian Anthropogenic Emissions and Natural Sequestration Modelling
1000839
Carbon Assessors is using atmospheric emissions and other data sources to forecast supply and demand trends in the Canadian carbon markets, combining environmental science with rigorous market analysis. Our objective is to correlate current and historical emissions records, atmospheric measurements, meteorological information, and topographical data to the emissions of different facilities as well as the carbon credit production of unannounced sequestration projects. This will give us information that is months and sometimes years ahead of reported figures, thereby granting us an advanced view of the supply and demand of carbon compliance units that we can sell to our customers (stakeholders in the various Canadian carbon markets).
