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.

SoCast Voice
914463
SoCast Voice provides increased audience engagement and time spent listening for local broadcasters. By enabling their brands to be accessible smart speakers, audiences who already engage with them traditionally (radio, print, tv), SoCast Voice provides two-way interaction via voice activated technology. Today’s broadcasters must remain brand-consistent as new ways to engage with their content constantly emerge. The long-tail of this development will be how the platforms (Amazon, Google, and soon Apple and Facebook) allow brands to leverage them for interactive promotions and advertising. Enabling broadcasters to control both content and ads together for this exploding platform is a killer app. [Please note, commercially sensitive material]
