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.

Beyond the PLOB Bound: Multimode Quantum Networks for Sensing and Metrology
1040641
The Project aims to overcome fundamental limits in quantum communication and establish Canada as a leader in quantum networking. Today’s systems are restricted by photon loss in fibers, where the so-called PLOB bound sets the ultimate limit for secure direct communication. The project team’s approach introduces a multimode, cavity QED-based repeater architecture with chiral light-matter coupling. This enables highly efficient entanglement distribution, directional photon interactions, and multiplexed quantum memory. These advances are expected to surpass the PLOB bound by 3–5 dB over metropolitan fiber networks—representing the first experimental violation of this theoretical limit. Unlike incremental progress pursued elsewhere, the Project uniquely integrates secure quantum communication with quantum?enhanced sensing and metrology within NRC’s testbed as a general quantum networking infrastructure. Potential applications include entanglement-assisted interferometry for astronomy and defense, quantum key distribution, and fault-tolerant distributed computing. By creating deployment-ready, modular infrastructure, the project directly supports Canada’s National Quantum Strategy and positions the country at the forefront of global quantum technology.
