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.

Player monitor applying deep neural network-based video quality assessment
932457
SSIMWAVE will develop a solution that provides video quality monitoring capability on the player at the viewer side of the delivery workflow. The project will leverage deep neural networks to develop an extremely accurate single-ended Quality of Experience (QoE) measure using the SSIMPLUS algorithm as ground-truth. Ultimately this will contribute to building an end-to-end video QoE measurement solution at multiple monitoring points, while providing accurate and correlated QoE scores. This will help to create a richer service assurance experience for our customers, to ensure they can quickly pinpoint issues and receive necessary feedback to enable delivery optimization.
