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.

Parametric Design 3.0 (Rapid Assessment Tool, and data-rich "Kit-of-Parts")
1010392
We plan to develop our parametric design capabilities by developing a two-stage Rapid Assessment Tool that will generate preliminary designs with basic project costing and associated proforma and, at the next stage of development, produce preliminary design drawings and cost estimates. The development of data-rich "kit-of-parts" will form the base material for this work.
This strategy will help us rapidly generate design solutions for customers that tie into site-specific data to create the base program for housing solutions that will grow to include AI-driven configure/design assistant to complete design packages, with budgets, schedules, and project proforma - instantly.
