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.

Capturing and utilizing contextual GHG emissions data at scale
1031971
This project seeks firstly to use proprietary technology to prove that accurate aggregation and quantification of GHG emissions data and associated operational data can be scaled sustainably, and secondly test the hypothesis that effective utilization of quantified GHG data through the Carbonhound system will result in increased revenue for medium-sized businesses.

Automated quality and coverage analysis and actioning system of GHG emissions inventory data
1021356
This project seeks to use proprietary technology to automate the analysis of data quality and coverage using advanced configuration and localised trend analysis of client (medium sized businesses) GHG emission inventories and associated business operations activity data. This analysis will be captured and translated into a system to action key outcomes via manual intervention, specifically managing errors, inconsistencies or unusual activity, success statistics, and introducing a feedback loop improving system performance through these flagged interventions and resolutions.

Youth - Climate Model Development
1018875
The purpose of this project is to build out proprietary climate modeling to estimate emissions data when full data is not available. This role will be doing research to build out the methodologies that we can embed into our software platform.
