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.

Integrated Maritime Security Operations Systems in the RSS
7475008 P014992001
This project aims to strengthen the maritime safety and security enforcement capabilities of the Regional Security System (RSS), which comprises eight Caribbean Member States. Recognizing the vast maritime jurisdiction of these states, particularly the Eastern Caribbean, whose maritime space is 128 times larger than their land mass, the project addresses critical vulnerabilities in maritime domain awareness, communications, and operational coordination. It seeks to modernize Maritime Operations Centres (MOCs) through the procurement and installation of ICT infrastructure, including secure mobile data solutions, computers, and video walls, enabling real-time communication and improved operational planning. The initiative also includes the development of updated maritime risk profiles for each Member State, certified training programs for maritime personnel in areas such as patrol craft command, search and rescue, and operations room management, and the execution of a joint maritime exercise to test the upgraded systems and skills. Gender equality and human rights considerations are embedded throughout the project, with targeted measures to ensure inclusive participation and adherence to international norms. The project is designed to be sustainable, with Member States assuming responsibility for equipment maintenance and continued training beyond the project’s end date. Ultimately, this initiative enhances the RSS’s capacity to counter transnational organized crime and environmental threats, contributing to regional and international security, including Canada’s own crime prevention objectives.
