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.

RMUS Canada “1 Controller” System with Multi Vehicle Control and Coordination
1005777
RMUS believes that a common interface for simultaneously controlling multiple vehicles – air, land and sea, in a single physical controller can dramatically increase the effectiveness of inspection and observational robotics by enhancing coordination between the robots and their inspection personnel. This will dramatically reduce training time, lower operator development costs while also reducing both inspection and travel costs. It will also enable faster data collection for inspection and search & rescue type applications as robots piloted by the same operator can take a coordinated and supplemental approach to data collection and refinement.
