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.

Agreement:

Development of EcoNirman Trading Platform Software

Agreement Number:

931891

Duration: from Jul 16, 2019 to Jan 31, 2021
Description:

The total CO2 emission from the global construction sector is about 23% of the total CO2 emissions produced. Over 30% of the construction materials end up as waste in the landfills and these landfills account ~15% of emissions resulting in massive environmental problems. Hence there is a strong need to reduce the carbon footprint mainly in the developed countries (G7) & in the emerging markets (Brazil, India, & China). Hence this project to provide an Internet based platform for reducing carbon footprint of the construction sector.
