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.

Implement productivity improvements for the laminate countertop process to reduce operating costs and increase productivity and efficiency to enable larger scale production, in preparation for expansion and scale growth. Our project seeks to focus on each aspect of the production cycle - from raw material acquisition through the finished goods shipping process - to shorten the cycle times for order-to-delivery/cash, improve customer satisfaction, reduce the amount of movement of goods, and allow for expansion in total capacity within the same footprint, machine capacity, and employee base, as the beginnings of a journey to acquire greater market share and expand into higher-demand markets.
