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.

Canvass MMRI Project

Agreement Number:

1022350

Duration: from Sep 9, 2024 to Feb 2, 2025
Description:

This project aims to identify 3-5 key use cases where small and medium manufacturers can leverage AI-based data analysis combined with SME expertise to drive data-backed decisions. The project will define the most common steps users would take to solve these use cases, which will guide the development of AI Agents in MONET—assistants that help users solve problems without training. MMRI will also aid in collecting/building datasets to train these agents, ensuring accuracy and reliability. Additionally, MMRI will run a program to train manufacturers to integrate these AI agents into their operations.
