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.

Privacy for Wellness Wearables: Emerging Trends and Power Dynamics in a Grey Area
This research and knowledge translation project focuses on the privacy implications of wellness wearables.
There has been a rapid increase in uptake of commercial health and wellness apps and wearable devices. By enabling the active and passive collection of consumers’ sensitive health-related data, these apps and devices pose substantial privacy risks (e.g. the creation of behavioural profiles for prediction, data breaches, etc.). As both commercial and health products, they occupy a regulatory grey area that allows for increased data sharing, cross-border transmission and storage and other risks to intimate data.
The project supports the development and understanding of privacy rights for those developing standards, policies, and guidance related to this field.
