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.

Duration: from Mar 25, 2026 to May 3, 2026
Description:

This proposed travel to China, forms part of an R&D initiative to evaluate and de-risk the development of an advanced automated labelling and loading system intended to improve throughput, accuracy, and traceability within the Firm's custom cabinetry production workflow. The purpose of the visit is to conduct in-person technical assessments of candidate systems to determine whether they can be effectively customized and integrated into a highly variable, made-to-order manufacturing environment. Key objectives include evaluating machine architecture, software compatibility with existing CNC and scheduling systems, adaptability to non-standard cabinetry dimensions, and overall performance under simulate.

Duration: from Jun 16, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026
Description:

To create a customized part tracking system through the use of an internal server based network and QR code scanners to track cabinet parts throughout the manufacturing process up until the completed assemblies are shipped. Along with this will be an auto-labeling system that labels parts prior to machining and a customized auto-loading system for loading the CNC router. An inventory tracking will be integrated with the part tracking system to track hardware and board material inventory prior to machining a project, as well as tracking the hardware until the project has shipped.
