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.

Expansion of Capabilities and Features of Automated Chambers

Agreement Number:

1032055

Duration: from Apr 1, 2025 to Mar 30, 2027
Description:

This project focuses on expanding the capabilities of the Firm’s eosAC line of automated chambers by shifting the data centralization role from third-party analyzers to the Firm’s multiplexers, allowing for greater analyzer agnosticism. With modifications to the Firm’s multiplexer hardware and software, this work will also introduce an open or steady-state chamber designed for reactive gas species, such as ammonia and VOCs, making the Firm the first commercial provider of this design. Together these changes will allow us to pursue a variety of opportunities involving known upcoming analyzer releases, while also providing a distinct competitive advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness, training, and operational flexibility.

Expanding Analyzer Compatibility of the eosAC Product Line by Advancing Firmware/Software and Hardware Interfaces

Agreement Number:

995340

Duration: from Sep 15, 2022 to Jul 21, 2023
Description:

This project aims to improve the compatibility of Eosense projects with products from related industry firm products by making the firmware and software of the chambers more cross-compatible, as well as by making the chamber hardware compatible with other signals and protocols delivered by third-party systems. The eosAC family of products from Eosense have been a key source of revenue and profit for the company. The number of annual sales are currently limited because of limited compatibility with third party analyzers for monitoring various greenhouse gases.

Duration: from Feb 19, 2020 to Mar 19, 2022
Description:

That gas migration can pose human health risks and is therefore heavily regulated in some highly-populated areas, like the United Kingdom. Eosense Inc. provides equipment that could be used in those regions to measure ground gas migration and emission, as well as the associated potential climate and air quality risks and thus indicate the relative threat to human health.
