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.

Latin American local capacity support for mining related Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
889966
Latin America (countries like Brazil and Chile) offers opportunities for Canadian companies with technologies, products, and services that might be applicable and transferable to the mining sector of the region. An example of this opportunity are some technologies currently being used in the environmental space of the oil sands operations in Alberta that may have an application in the mining sector of Latin America. The objective of this project is building the local capacity for Canadian SMEs in Latin America by: 1. Assessing the export readiness of Canadian SMEs for entry & accessibility into the Latin America mining sector. 2. Using information from existing resources, such as the Trade Commissioner Service (TCS), Export Development Canada (EDC), Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) etc., to generate engagement with Latin American potential technology partners and collaborators, and market leads through in-country interactions with prospective clients & mining stakeholders.
