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.

Western Canadian Gas Value Chains to Korea: Decarbonization Pathways Deep-Dive
GC-130749S
Under this project, the proponent will conduct a deep dive case study analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) impacts of Canadian LNG exports to the Republic of Korea. The proponent will assess the role of Canadian LNG in displacing Korean coal. The Proponent will also assess the costs and policy considerations of LNG and blue ammonia versus alternatives, particularly nuclear power and renewable power plus batteries.
