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.

Data Dashboard for Emissions Monitoring

Agreement Number:

989006

Duration: from Apr 1, 2022 to Nov 30, 2022
Description:

Over the past few years Chartis RSS has developed a 'drone in a box' autonomous drone solution that can be tasked for a variety of deliverables. But there is a need to develop a dashboard and machine learning program to extrapolate data readings from the drone captured data to establish a volume of methane released on a regular interval and provide a warning systems for operations and executives when the volume is beyond acceptable limits. The dashboard will monitor regular drone flights correlated to the Alberta Tier Program (as first release) and match current volume and comparisons to the goals set out by the corporation and the industry.
