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.

High TC Josephson Junction Arrays for Quantum Standards and Measurement Devices

The Project brings together academic leaders in quantum technology, with national laboratory experts in standards and industry specialists in measurement systems to deliver an easily deployable quantum voltage standard. For every field, standards are essential to ensuring safety, quality, and reliability. For innovation, standards bring precision that enables improved performance. The quantum field cannot rely on last century’s classical standards (such as a kg mass placed in a safe). Instead, a new family of quantum standards are needed to bring higher precision and compatibility with quantum devices. Fortunately, quantum technology enables such a device, that is itself a quantum circuit and whose precision is traceable solely to fundamental constants. It builds standards from uniquely quantum effects and in systems that are extraordinarily engineerable. These are essential to building and perfecting the control systems that will be at the heart of all quantum computers and sensors and will sustain Canada’s leadership in the quantum field
