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.

Youth - MetaDSP development
1000168
The project is to automate the entire programmatic advertising buying cycle – from the data/planning phase to the buying/execution phase, and on to an automated, but agnostic, approach to DSPs (demand-side platforms). This will enable smaller agencies to better control their margins while driving material, cost-saving efficiencies.
This project is to create the AI-enabled database which employs data science and machine learning/AI algorithms which will serve as the base for the future MetaDSP software application.
The AI-enabled database will be unique insofar as it will be able to both store and process very large amounts of data using sophisticated, and yet undeveloped, machine learning algorithms.
