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.

Program: Canada – Germany collaborative industrial research and development program 2019, Call 2
Project acronym: HYPOD
The project goal is to develop an airborne system to detect and locate small pipeline leaks that have recently percolated to the surface and produced a detectable saturated spot for different soil types and various environmental conditions. Hyperspectral imaging data analysis will be used to detect crudes and refined products leaks. To improve the reliability of hyperspectral imaging and reduce the false alarm rate, the hyperspectral detection algorithm will be further enhanced by making use of various Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm. The hyperspectral leak detection data will be compared with data gathered from an extremely sensitive UV active LiDAR LDS and data reconciled to develop accelerated training scenarios for the AI.
