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.

JustFood ERP System Implementation
984045
Implement a food and beverage industry-specific ERP system, to address the limitations of our current food safety/traceability systems. It will allow us to set up critical control point checks, implementing preventative functionality into our system to more reliably control food safety. It will also allow us to automatically capture all necessary data for end-to-end supply chain traceability, making our system infinitely more reliable and efficient than the current one. Given our diverse range of products, many having complex formulations (using both organic and conventional ingredients) a reliable food safety and traceability system is critical, particularly given that some of our products include allergens.
