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.

Cybersecurity capacity Building in Ukraine
7466528 P015621001
This project seeks to further Canada’s support to Ukraine’s digital resilience by providing targeted cyber training courses to Ukrainian government agencies. It is imperative to bolster Ukraine's cyber defences and enhance its ability to rebuild and modernize its critical digital infrastructure. Strengthening these capabilities is not just a strategic necessity for Ukraine, but also a crucial step toward ensuring the stability of global cybersecurity networks. As malicious cyber activity can target Canadians or Canadian interests from any part of the world, it is essential that Canada works to ensure all states have the tools and capacity to effectively combat cyber threats that might emanate from their country, while also working with allies to secure global networks.
