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 Catering Ordering with Constraint-safe Package Generation
1041908
This project develops an enterprise-grade AI-powered ordering flow within App8's existing catering platform. The system processes natural-language buyer inputs and generates a small set of validated, feasible, and priced catering package options that convert directly into a quote-ready cart for operator approval. The core technical challenge is proving that constrained AI generation can reliably produce quote-ready carts under hard, non-negotiable constraints across real menus and uneven data quality, at scale, with zero violation rate on safety-critical outputs.
