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.

Project Cirrus

Agreement Number:

904736

Duration: from Apr 2, 2018 to Mar 22, 2019
Description:

Project Cirrus will trail blaze a new level technical value and push the boundaries of big data on mobile devices. It will expand the technical abilities of the Pro Angler app to handle an exponential increase in the magnitude of data parsed, structured and disseminated to the live user base. It will also produce an algorithm CAPD (Computer Assisted Pro Data) based on a specialized R&D process to determine the correct combination and weight of freshwater based environmental data feeds. As a result, the application will not only cover seas and oceans, but also rivers and lakes in both USA and Canada (“Freshwater”). Achieving this would produce the only software on the market capable to cover all fish types in all possible water-bodies.
