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.

Developing a microbial based soil amendment that can improve the establishment of young urban out planted trees
934035
Mortality of urban forest trees exceeds 30% within the first two years of planting, which limits municipality's tree canopy cover goals and costs millions in losses per year. Lallemand will develop three microbial soil amendment prototypes that may be able to provide planting pits with improved water holding capacity, improved soil structure, increased nutrients, root stimulation and buffering from abiotic stress such as drought and osmotic stress. This project will 1.] test the best soil amendment prototypes in a greenhouse trial using silver maple seedlings and 2.] measure the hydraulic properties of the soils treated with soil amendments using the Extended Evaporation Method to guide rates of incorporation for urban tree planting.

Youth Project- Soil inoculants to improve plant growth
927989
Sustainable, cost-effective solutions to global food insecurity are of critical importance. Soybean is the 4th largest field crop in Canada by acreage, contributing to commodity and food-grade markets. To sustain current demand, novel technologies such as improved microbial inoculants, are needed to combat our reliance on expensive chemical fertilizers. Further, improved plant health & increased yields will ensure we can address upcoming challenges such as climate change. This project aims to identify synergies among inoculants, which have the potential to increase nutrient availability & uptake. Measurements under controlled conditions will be quantified to evaluate the efficacy of products & provide advice for future on field application.

Youth Project - Testing Metarhizium micro-granules in managing wireworm infestations in potatoes
926958
Potato is the largest vegetable crop produced in Canada, with almost 5 million tonnes every year. Wireworms, the larva of the click beetles [Elatiridae] cost farmers an estimated 6 million dollars annually in pest management measures and crop losses. Many insecticides are ineffective and do not have long enough residuals to protect harvestable tubers. Thus, new control measures are being saught. An environmentally-friendly pest control product based on Metarhizium fungus is in development and will be applied either as in-furrow band or spot applications during potato planting to protect harvested tubers from wireworm feeding damage. The efficacy of the Metarhizium will be compared to other pest control products in the laboratoy and field.
