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.

Duration: from Aug 1, 2024 to Mar 10, 2025
Description:

Jordan has been working for the past 3 months on a high speed hydraulic punching system for a rollforming line. It consists of a piercing and a cutting hydraulic press. He went through the adaptation of a reference design, the sizing of the actuators (servo motors, valves, cylinders) and is now finalizing the detailing of the drawings before releasing for production
In the near future and for the next 3-4 months, he will enter our junior hands on learning program where he will support the testing and assembly team through the validation of the capabilities of different production lines. The objective is to give him a better understanding of the common issues of our products to then improve our design once he is back into design.
