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.

Development of SafetyScan 2.0 - An AI/Machine Learning Impairment Screening System for Drugs, Alcohol, and Cognitive Fatigue
1000225
SafetyScan 2.0 will revolutionize the way impairment is detected in safety sensitive workplaces. It will largely replace expensive and fallible methods (such as breathalyzers or urine tests) which can be expensive, infrequently administered, and have delayed results, all while not being able to detect impairment. With SafetyScan 2.0, a worker’s eye movements will be scanned and analyzed for psychomotor impairment from alcohol, drugs, or cognitive fatigue. This is a daily Fitness for Duty test that is fast, accurate, non-invasive, and respectful of worker privacy. The rapid results will prevent workplace lost time incidents, equipment downtime, traffic accidents, and environmental disasters while respecting and maintaining worker privacy.
