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.

IoT-Enabled Self-Diagnostics System Design and Implementation for Spas
923672
The project aims to create an enterprise technology support system to facilitate a new type of corporate stores that provide centralized technical support. These goals will be achieved by implementing a system that draws from Internet of things methodologies as well as Industrial Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and from the diagnostic capabilities of the automotive industry (OBD) or on board diagnostics. We will specifically build from the user experience associated with the internet of things. We wish to adopt from the on-board diagnostic world the practice of diagnosing problems and provide a simple code which will allow the owner or dealer to know immediately what is wrong with the tub and also how to fix it.
