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.

Agreement:

AI-powered connected pipeline system - Next generation Converge.

Agreement Number:

1042695

Duration: from May 1, 2026 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

This project will develop an Operational System Intelligence platform for energy infrastructure that materializes and explains operational relationships driving real-world outcomes. The innovation applies relationship-oriented data models, spatial analytics, and explainable AI/ML to link assets, regulations, and external conditions at scale, addressing technical uncertainty. Building on an SaaS platform and internal R&D, the system identifies risk triggers and obligated actions as conditions change. A core use case is detecting urban encroachment near energy infrastructure to support CSA Z662 regulatory actions, improving compliance, risk mitigation, and infrastructure management.

Converge Risk Aversion

Agreement Number:

1005743

Duration: from May 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2024
Description:

GDMs pipeline risk assessment solution provides a cost and time effective “out of the box” baseline risk score for every pipeline in Western Canada based on best-in-class oil and gas datasets. The systems and tools in this solution give industry access to a persistent database of pipeline risk information that is simple and easy to use, yet still delivers the complex information organizations need to effectively make better informed operational decisions. While this benchmark assessment provides a quality risk ranking, clients have identified the need to be able take control of the underlying risk scoring algorithms and risk mitigation mechanisms in order to truly represent their corporate definition of operational risk.
