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.

A new plasma process for the production of fumed silica
1029587
PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PCI) is a world leader in plasma processes and torch products which use only electricity (no fossil fuels) for material transformation applications. PCI is developing a one-step plasma process to produce fumed silica, a valuable material used in numerous consumer goods, from quartz. This innovative technology offers notable benefits compared to the multiple-step flame hydrolysis process, including significant reductions in GHG emissions and solid waste, as well as elimination of air contaminants that cause acid rain. Partnering with HPQ Silicon Resources, PCI will build a pilot production system to establish the plasma technology as a viable and sustainable alternative to flame hydrolysis, leading to the first fumed silica production plant in Canada.
