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.

Pre-Pilot Hardware Scope
1033824
This project involves the development and testing of advanced prototypes of a drug detection device with focus on the microprocessor design interface with lasers supplied from two different manufactures. The development of benchtop models will provide valuable insight for the design of two pilot units. An important deliverable from the project will be the necessary documentation to proceed with small scale manufacturing of additional units. At completion of the Pre-Pilot Hardware project, SpectraCann will have validated the hardware design of the drug detection device. This will be a big step towards commercialization for SpectraCann.

AI Assist: AI-Powered Breathalyzer Development
1028136
This project aims to transform a novel form of spectroscopy data analysis by implementing AI and machine learning (ML) technologies to achieve substantial improvements in accuracy and efficiency. A scalable, secure, and efficient target architecture and foundational model will be selected and documented to support the integration of AI capabilities.
The final phase of this project will involve the seamless integration of ML models into the device hardware, ensuring synchronized communication between software, hardware, and algorithm components. Rigorous internal verification will optimize performance metrics, while algorithms will be validated and tested through controlled lab experiments and field trials.
