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.

The Unheard Voices of Migrant Women Farm Workers
ON21033
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Active Care Response Team will achieve this by identifying key issues and barriers which prevent migrant women farm workers (MWFW) from fully participating in decision-making and leadership roles. Through research of current legislation, policies and practices, as well as stakeholder input, the organization will make recommendations for change and develop an action plan to address these issues. Throughout the process the organization will monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the action plan relying on community partners and stakeholders (MWFW and farmers) to advance systemic change and endorse policy and recommendations to increase migrant women and girl’s participation in decision-making.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing the systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality.
This project will work with partners, including the Global Resources Centre, Justica, Health Unit, Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, St. Clair College, the University of Windsor, Ontario Vegetable Growers' Association, Migrant Worker Community Program, and various farm owners to improve collaboration amongst likeminded organizations in the region and lead the dissemination of key recommendations for policy and programs towards a recovery from the impacts of COVID-19.
