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.

REVEL (Real Vegetal leather)
909474
Alternatives to synthetic animal leather are known for several decades. Often called leatherette, these products are composed of polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride. However, they offer little or no “breathability.” These products, consisting of a textile and plastic assembly are non-recyclable or bio-decomposable. REVEL proposes entirely plant as an alternative to the animal leather (therefore compostable), which reproduces the feeling and the performance of the animal leather by a vapour permeability of water and impermeability equivalent to leather. The visual aspect will also be reproduced. The principle is based on the combination of a substrate textile viscose derived plant fibre combined with a membrane.
