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.

End Of Line Automation Project - Gown Folding
1008497
Harbour intends to add an automated folding/bagging/boxing solution to its proprietary automated isolation gown manufacturing environment, improving efficiency, increasing safety and reducing the overall cost-per-gown, making the system more attractive to prospective PPE manufacturers Harbour hopes to partner with.
This will be done by borrowing existing best-in-class components and engineering to build our own dedicated end-of-line automated solution capable of folding a gown every 3.5 seconds at maximum speed, automatically detecting and rejecting failures on the fly and with the flexibility to insert between one and ten gowns per bag depending on contract needs.
