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.

AI-Enabled Counter-UAV Detection Technologies
1040752
This project will evaluate AI-enabled counter-UAV technologies designed to detect and track unauthorized drones in sensitive airspace. The work will assess sensing approaches combining radar and optical systems with artificial intelligence to improve identification and monitoring of drone activity. The project will also explore the use of unmanned aerial platforms to extend detection coverage and support counter-UAV operations. Outcomes will help advance technologies that support defence, public safety, and critical infrastructure protection while strengthening Canada’s capabilities in autonomous systems and aerospace innovation.
