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.

Genetic and Molecular Improvement of AquaBounty Atlantic Salmon Phase II
1012860
This project consists of objectives related to genetic improvement, the expansion of genetic capabilities and baseline health rankings among AquaBounty’s Atlantic salmon lines and leveraging advanced molecular and biotechnological tools in the continuous improvement of our stocks. Baseline environmental, genetic and genomic information collected as well as development of new genetic tools will enhance the development in AquaBounty Atlantic salmon. Owing to the strains and lines necessary to the creation of AquaBounty (AQB) commercial fish and the range of putative commercial products under consideration, our investigations here will be applied to both AquaBounty's production lines and conventional Atlantic salmon.

Internship 1 2021

AquaBounty Canada (ABC) is a pioneer in using modern genetics to enhance growth in the land-based farming (RAS) of Atlantic salmon. We operate three facilities in eastern PEI, growing fish to market size for food, conducting research trials, and raising broodstock fish for generation of eggs.
AquaBounty currently relies on one commercial feed supplier for starter feed for their AquAdvantage salmon. Good quality starter diets are extremely important for early development. During this project, AquaBounty will be comparing their traditional starter feed to another commercially available starter feed to determine if it is a suitable candidate for their product.

Youth - Detection of Single Transgenic Sample
952535
An intern would be beneficial to AquaBounty's research team as the summer months tend to bring many routine diagnostic samples for screening in addition to the R&D projects that have been planned. During this internship, one of many R&D projects that we have planned includes a study to validate a molecular diagnostic assay for the detection of a single transgenic sample within a pool of non transgenic samples. This assay will provide a reliable and much faster, more economical method of screening groups of putative non transgenic samples as they will be prepared as a pool instead of being analyzed individually as they currently are. Having an intern available to work on this project will be key in its success.

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills. The CSJ program is delivered by the Department of ESD.
