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.

Development of Proximity Sensing ASIC
1012032
The project encompasses all technical aspects of developing a proximity sensing ASIC(s), initially targeted to hands-free water saving faucets; but flexible in scope to address multiple applications requiring low-cost proximity sensing. It will include the technical feasibility, completion of the specification (technical requirements), the full product development to realize the actual integrated circuit(s), and the supporting engineering efforts to bring it into mass production.
The development will be in-house, with consideration to out-sourcing some TBD portion based on technical feasibility.

Development of Proximity Sensing Technology (Phase 1)
1008199
The project will create a platform and develop all core functionality of a proximity sensing platform initially targeted to hands-free water saving faucets; but flexible in scope to address multiple applications requiring low-cost proximity sensing. It will include all engineering efforts – software, hardware, mechanical, reliability and QA - to launch the initial product. The initial launch will be based on available market components, including Infrared Sensors and microcontrollers, but used in a novel single-voltage architecture. Phase 2 and future implementations will provide cost-reduction, add features and target additional markets and applications. These phases will include provision to use an internally developed ASIC.
