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.

Valorization of nickel sulphate from asbestos residues.
967397
AMI is preparing to become a producer of metallic magnesium and amorphous silica using residues from the asbestos industry as a resource (the tailings). The tailings also contain magnetite (Fe3O4) and awaruite (FeNi3). AMI wants to recover the nickel from the tailings, which requires industrial research. AMI wants to take advantage of the fact that awaruite is intimately linked to the magnesium silicates in the tailings. Under an appropriate particle size, only magnetite could be removed from the tailings. Lizardite, chrysotile and awaruite will then be leached during an acid treatment. The possible way to recover the nickel in solution without impacting the magnesium is selective precipitation and capture on ion exchange resin.
