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.

Agreement:

ARP - Development of a virtual agronomist.

Agreement Number:

999901

Duration: from Jan 9, 2023 to Dec 15, 2023
Description:

To be profitable in the greenhouse, vegetable growers must acquire knowledge on a multitude of technical subjects. Unfortunately, theoretical knowledge is difficult to apply in the field. Currently, growers acquire knowledge through 20 years of trial and error. To increase productivity from day one, the firm will develop a virtual expert who will support the grower directly in the greenhouse. By taking advantage of the automation system, it will develop control strategies that give the grower the ability to use scientific knowledge to take action. These tools will allow him to reduce diseases in winter production, optimize growth and balance the growth of the plant.
