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.

Women Truckers: Goal 10%
QC17208
This 36-month project seeks to remove institutional barriers causing women's under-representation in Quebec's transport industry. The project will ensure a better understanding of the systemic barriers faced by women in accessing training and working as drivers, and then work towards changing current recruitment, integration and training practices of businesses and training centres. In collaboration with key partners from the private sector and two training centres, an action plan will be developed and concrete actions will be taken in six regions. Private businesses, training centres, the provincial trucking association and Via Prévention will offer resources to develop and implement new tools, provide support for the sector and share the new practices. An advisory committee of sector leaders will ensure the project’s governance and results sharing through province-wide transport industry events, promotional tools and partners' and stakeholders' websites.
