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.

Driving hydrogen-electric trucks toward diesel cost parity through systematic cost reduction and Canadian supply chain vertical integration
1033401
Elemental Trucks is developing a next-gen hydrogen fuel cell Class 8 truck with superior performance and cost efficiency. Key innovations include a new chassis design, improved fuel cell and battery integration, AI-driven energy management, hybrid powertrains, and optimized thermal management. Designed in Canada, our truck targets a $7–10B domestic market, leveraging strong policy support and top-tier talent. Ideal for heavy-haul, urban, and cold chain fleets, it offers long range, fast refueling, high payload capacity, and zero emissions. By 2030, our trucks aim to reach TCO parity with diesel.
