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.

pH7 PGM Green Processing Plant
1029558
pH7 has created an innovative process for extracting and refining of critical metals that will enable the transition to renewable energy in an environmentally and economically sustainable way.pH7 closed loop process applies organic, inorganic, and electro chemistries to reduce the environmental impact of the mining and mineral processes. This disruptive process enables efficient metal extraction from low grade resources or difficult substrates which are uneconomical or infeasible by current pyro or hydro metallurgy approaches. This project will grow the industry's capacity to extract PGM from end-of-life materials to meet the growing demands of the green, circular and hydrogen economies.
