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.

Lithium Extraction from Waste Produced Water
1036341
CANDLE plans to execute a pilot project in cooperation with its operations partner and a major Canadian gas producer in 2025-2026. The project duration, including pre-trial testing, fabrication, field pilot operations, and final lithium recovery, is 6 months. The field pilot operations are estimated to be 1 month in duration and the recovered lithium through CANDLE's process will be converted to lithium carbonate which will then be presented to various stakeholders. The field pilot will serve as precursor for the firm's commercial demonstration plant scheduled for late 2026.
