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.

YOUTH - AI Architectural Designer

Agreement Number:

1034492

Duration: from Sep 2, 2025 to Aug 28, 2026
Description:

The aim of this project is to develop plan templates that can be adapted by artificial intelligence, enabling the dynamic modification of architectural configurations according to different criteria and constraints. This development also includes the integration of these plan templates into the existing database to reinforce and diversify the training of the generative engine. The initiative aims to improve the quality, precision and variety of architectural proposals produced by AI, while optimizing the speed and relevance of results for different types of residential and commercial projects.

Implementation of an AI architectural brain

Agreement Number:

1031204

Duration: from May 26, 2025 to Nov 7, 2025
Description:

This project is the preliminary phase of an ambitious technological undertaking: building an AI-based architectural brain. It aims to connect LLMs to an existing generative algorithm in order to automatically contextualize architectural plans based on real data (regulations, market, climate). This foundation will lay the groundwork for a learning engine that is intelligent and compliant with real-world conditions.
