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.

AI Driven Personalized Learning Tool
988085
The project involves new developments of a personalized content delivery tool based around AI and Machine Learning automation. AI technology will be used to automatically grade writing and speaking tasks. Machine learning processes will be used to determine the most relevant content at each stage of a student’s learning path. Teachers will be able to access better insights into all of their students, and make better informed decisions about what to teach and when. The platform will enable teachers to turn on automated learning paths for students, so they are able to study continuously on their own outside of class, with the most relevant content presented after the completion of each activity.
