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.

Démonstration, optimisation et préparation à la commercialisation d’une solution optique de mesure de viscosité en temps réel
AIP-PAI - 2721
The project aims to demonstrate, validate, and optimize the real-time optical measurement technology developed by Bliq Photonique for monitoring viscosity in industrial food processing operations. It is structured around two complementary activities: a demonstration and technology adaptation phase at industrial sites in Canada and internationally, and a commercial preparation phase for international market launch. The solution, designed and manufactured in Quebec, is currently ready for pre-commercial demonstrations. The project will enable the final step to be taken before large-scale industrial adoption.
