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.

YOUTH 1: Efficacy trial of tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) vaccine
998957
The tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging disease threatening tomato industry by deteriorating fruit quality, reducing shelf life and making fruits unmarketable from 30% to 70%. ToBRFV can overcome all known genetic resistance genes resulting in all commercial tomato varieties being susceptible to the virus. Efforts to manage ToBRFV currently focus on using certified seed and maintaining strict biosecurity and sanitation practices. We have developed some attenuated ToBRFV strains that will be tested for the efficacy to protect tomato plants from the infection of wild-type ToBRFV in a commercial greenhouse.
