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.

AI-Informed Expertise Updates

Agreement Number:

Duration: from Aug 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2026
Description:

It is difficult to keep documented procedures, process, and general how-to information (often called Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)) current. Insurance, equipment, materials and software change regularly and turnover is high so that established company knowledge quickly becomes outdated, difficult to access and possibly incorrect. This project will create a system based on Large Language Models (LLM) that identifies customer processes that are outdated and suggests changes and improvements for them to make to keep their existing SOPs relevant for all team members.
