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.

EnvisionSQ has developed an innovative disinfectant for application on virtually any surface, either in-situ or off-site, to help prevent spread of bacteria and viruses. This product is currently being submitted to Health Canada for approval. GermStopSQ is designed as a high-performing antimicrobial and antiviral disinfectant that works around the clock. The liquid formulation kills on contact and when dry, creates a clear, selfsanitizing coating material that ruptures the target organism’s protective outer covering. Independent tests show the GermStopSQ coating is more than 99.9999% effective at killing a broad range of microbes and 99.993% effective at killing coronavirus 229E, a recognized proxy for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Thanks to its nanoengineered properties and unique polymer structure, GermStopSQ bonds to both hard and soft surfaces. It can be applied using a variety of delivery modes — spraying, rolling or wiping — depending on the type of surface. Once applied, it creates an invisible and durable film network structure. Its active ingredient is designed to keep surfaces disinfected for days, while a special photocatalytic ingredient provides additional disinfection every time it’s exposed to light. With this project, Envision SQ aims to optimize the GermStopSQ formulation for use in enclosed spaces and around sensitive equipment.
