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.

Multi-Language Support for Library and Projects
908314
Loopio’s Content Library currently only supports English as its primary language and is not usable to effectively manage content across multiple languages. In scenarios where content is stored in multiple languages, the upkeep and administration of that content becomes cumbersome and disjointed. Question-Answer Pairs stored in unique languages are disconnected, and the upkeep and maintenance of content stored in multiple languages cannot be effectively scaled. Multi-language Support in Loopio will work by identifying a primary language for all content and having a way to interconnect language variations of that same content. The Loopio search engine will be modified to facilitate search based on preferred language. Please see full proposal.
