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.

FPCM - Pilot Demo of Advanced Circuit Technology for Critical Minerals Recovery
1034302
Lab 4 will conduct a pilot-scale demonstration of its proprietary Advanced Recovery Circuit (ARC) technology. This project will process a range of complex, real-world Canadian feedstocks to validate the ARC's recovery rates (>99%), environmental performance, and economic viability. The pilot will de-risk the technology for commercial scale-up and help to secure offtake agreements for our planned 1,000-tonne demonstration facility.

Pre-pilot feasibility study for lithium Ion battery recycling
1002970
The goal of the project is to determine technical parameters for efficient lithium-ion battery recycling. Technical improvement includes determining engineering parameters like mass balance towards the scalability of the recycling technology being developed. Also, the program will include some test works and third-party validations of the developing process for the materials contained in the lithium-ion batteries.
