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.

Clean Power Variable Frequency Drive
1029622
SmartD Technologies (SmartD) specialises in next-generation motor control products based on the development of new electrical topologies and the use of wide-band transistors. The physical properties of these transistors, combined with SmartD's unique topologies developed in conjunction with researchers at the École de Technologie Supérieure (ETS), result in smaller, more efficient variable frequency drives that generate a better quality electrical signal.

SiC-based High-Speed PMSM VFD
1005594
The aim of this project is to implement high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor control loops in a Silicon Carbide-based high-speed variable frequency drive. This technology should result in “clean power drives” producing a true sine wave output to significantly reduce industrial electrical motor wear and to improve system efficiency.
