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.

CERVEAU: Design of the energy recovery system aiming for efficiency and unified greenhouse autonomy
1029502
The strong pressure to increase greenhouse production in Canada faces the risk of increasing fossil fuel consumption and associated GHGs. It is important to put in place solutions that will support food self-sufficiency with new, more eco-responsible production approaches that enable greater profitability for growers. As part of this evolutionary approach, the rise of artificially-lit vertical farming is generating exciting new initiatives around the world. The project proposed by Ferme d'Hiver Technologie inc (FHT) and its technical and academic partners aims to set up two vertical farming production rooms and use the excess heat produced by lighting these rooms to heat an adjacent greenhouse. This innovative project, which has never been carried out anywhere else in the world, will benefit from the dynamism of a start-up company, the expertise of its multidisciplinary team and the experience of a 35-year veteran of greenhouse fruit and vegetable production. The project will demonstrate the validity of the approach and propel Canada to the forefront of cutting-edge sustainable development technology.
