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.

Agreement:

INTELLITIP Project

Agreement Number:

1027893

Duration: from Feb 10, 2025 to Aug 31, 2025
Description:

Contact tip changes as well as removal of spatter in nozzles by a reamer, are necessary tasks in robotic MIG welding applications. Reaming stations, such as the NASARC INTELLIREAM has been in use for many years and offer an automated solution to spatter removal in nozzles. Contact tip changes, on the other hand continue to be a predominantly manual task performed multiple times a day at significant cost. The project in reference seeks to combine the 2 tasks into a single assembly with enhanced features.

Advanced Gas Metal Arc Welding System

Agreement Number:

1008806

Duration: from Jul 1, 2023 to Oct 31, 2024
Description:

This R&D project developed a new advanced gas metal arc welding system for applications where low heat input and high efficiency is required, impacting spatter generation.

This new system will incorporate advanced silicon hardware as well as machine learning software to reach its goal by recognizing patterns in the measured data and applying changes to achieve the optimal outcome through the welding arc.
