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.

This project aims to reduce threats to populations in the Indo-Pacific region from the proliferation of small arms and light weapons by advancing the universalization and national implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). The project engages with key actors and states in the Indo-Pacific region to help identify challenges and opportunities with ATT compliance. Project activities include: (1) researching current trends and common issues around the legal and illegal trade of weapons and ammunition and the challenges hindering Indo-Pacific states’ accession to the ATT; (2) publishing a report summarizing the research findings at the 10th Conference of States Parties of the ATT in August 2024; and (3) disseminating the report further and engaging with wider audiences to determine interest in building on the core needs identified in the report.
