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.

CropRecords logistics and SWAT MAPS data processing
904714
CropRecords is data management software for consulting agronomy and variable rate precision agriculture. SWAT MAPS and SWAT BOX are proprietary mapping processes and an autonomous soil EC mapping unit developed for variable-rate fertilizer and seed that are becoming the mainstream methodology recognized throughout Canada and into the USA. The purpose of this project is to build logistics modules for all users to work together, add GIS mapping functionality to the database and apps so new forms of SWAT MAPS data such as Lidar and SWAT BOX can be integrated.
