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.

Pilot Scale-Up and Manufacturing Refinement of Dissolvable Glass Fertilizer Fibre
1032525
Rock wool continues to be a common choice for soilless cultivation media in hydroponics, despite 70 000 tonnes or 250 000 m3 of rock wool waste ending up in Canadian landfills each year. Genics Inc. is developing a replacement that will eliminate rockwool waste, reduce labour and carbon footprint in greenhouses. By the end of this project, the Firm will scale up the innovation’s production to pilot scale and refine the manufacturing process to ensure product reliability and acceptance by customers. Genics will develop our manufacturing and prototype testing processes (increase the TRL from 7 to TRL 9).
