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.

MILV Vehicle

Agreement Number:

1041066

Duration: from Mar 25, 2026 to Jan 3, 2027
Description:

Adapting our custom stealth battery electrical side by side from agriculture market toward military variant will allow for secure supply chain platform that is modular and scalable with integration of defense technology. The 100% Canadian IP platform has evolved to allow for simplistic manufacturing and NATO friendly drivetrain integration to allow for robust manufacturing plan for defense. The rugged drive performance, power of the initial vehicle allow for a harsh/variable drive conditions that can include steep inclines, mud/sand/snow, heavy payload under towing. The initial design upgrade has included an autonomy kit to allow for driverless steering options for things such as soldier retrieval or perimeter monitoring/drone defence.

New EMI Chamber

Agreement Number:

1004672

Duration: from Apr 10, 2023 to Mar 31, 2024
Description:

The new IRAP project of setup commissioning of an EMI test chamber differs from the previous two projects in several ways.
Firstly, while the turntable project focused on expanding the acoustic testing abilities of the company, the new project focuses on expanding the electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing abilities of the company. EMI testing is a specific type of testing that is used to ensure that electronic devices and systems meet regulatory requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Secondly, the turntable project was focused on improving the speaker product development and testing, whereas the new project is focused on providing EMI testing services to external clients and develop new products internally.

Paddleboard Development

Agreement Number:

994477

Duration: from Aug 1, 2022 to Mar 25, 2023
Description:

As environmental awareness increases many businesses are seeking to electrify various products. While the focus right now is on the automotive industry, water transport is another field of interest. Paddleboards specifically present a great market for electrification. This project seeks to tackle this growing market and deliver an easy-to-use/install product. Product components will include the battery, electric fin, thrust button, mounting hardware, and required cables. This project will deliver a working prototype and product documentation.
The current market competition is low due to supply chain issues. A handful of products have been released in this growing market. The current targeted prototype completion is within a year.
