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.

Tidra: AI Coding Agents for Automated Software Maintenance at Enterprise Scale

Agreement Number:

1043956

Duration: from Apr 6, 2026 to Nov 30, 2026
Description:

This project develops AI-powered automation for large-scale software maintenance across enterprise organizations to reduce time spent on repetitive maintenance tasks, including dependency updates, security patches, configuration standardization, that must be coordinated across hundreds of repositories. Our system uses LLMs to automatically generate code changes, create pull requests, and orchestrate completion across entire codebases. We will advance the system's intelligence through: pre-computed codebase representations that provide rich context without repeated analysis; pre-generation analysis to optimize cost and approach; organizational knowledge integration ; and automated CI validation to achieve enterprise-grade reliability.

Agreement:

Automatic Microservice Dependency Tracking

Agreement Number:

965791

Duration: from Feb 1, 2021 to May 31, 2021
Description:

Engineering organizations running a large number of microservices have consistent challenges in understanding the “big picture” and the relationships / dependencies between microservices. Understanding microservice dependencies is important for activities such as capacity planning, reliability planning (e.g., does a Tier 1 microservice call a Tier 4 microservice), and software architecture (e.g., ensuring no circular dependencies).
This project will extend OpsLevel's current functionality by creating a mechanism to track microservice dependencies and allow users to explore/ query the dependencies between services.

GitLevel - Leaked Secrets Auto-Detection

Agreement Number:

948635

Duration: from Jun 1, 2020 to Jan 31, 2021
Description:

This project will extend OpsLevel’s product by adding the ability for it to automatically detect secrets (passwords, API keys, authentication tokens, etc.) that have been leaked into customers’ code bases. Storing secrets in code is a bad practice and one that can easily lead to security breaches, lost data, and more, but it can be very difficult to police the practice effectively at large organizations with hundreds of developers and thousands of code repositories. OpsLevel will incorporate machine intelligence to automatically detect these secrets and reduce this liability for our customers.
