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.

Development of a mass-rearing system for morphologically distinct "Jumbo” Aphidius ervi
932336
Aphidius ervi Haliday is a small Braconid wasp that parasitizes several species of aphids and is frequently used to control greenhouse aphid infestations. Adults of A.ervi exhibit noticeable variation in size, colouration, and morphological characters depending on the environmental conditions and host system in which they complete their life cycle. Crop Defenders created this project with the goal of developing a rearing system to consistently produce A. ervi adults of larger size than is typical for the species, a product given the name “Jumbo Ervi”.Phase 1 of this project focuses on the small scale successful production of "Jumbo Ervi" which will work 80% better in controlling cannabis aphids than the conventional A. ervi.
