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.

Development of Viperfish + Secure Cloud Streaming
1001203
The Viperfish + Secure Cloud solution is a 100% weather proof system, capable of providing real-time secure video streaming from anywhere between earth’s atmosphere to 500 metres in depth. Using cutting edge streaming technologies, it will enable the lowest possible latency from anywhere in the world. The primary goal of the Viperfish is to provide a system that can be integrated into ROVs, AUVs, USVs, ships, buoys, autonomous monitoring stations, and diver operations. Due to its small size and robust housing, the Viperfish camera will be able to easily attach to any vehicle, device or monitoring station that can directly connect to the internet where it can uplink via a low-bandwidth satellite connection to SubC Imaging's Stream Cloud.
