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.

Production Efficiency Resulting from Advanced Pre and Post Heat Treatment
1009819
Today, when we assemble our cast alloy assemblies, we pre heat prior to welding with open flame tiger torches. While that meets minimum standards, it does not ensure we have even heat throughout the cast component, nor consistent heat during the welding process (which can take 16 hours). When we finish the welding, we need to apply post heat in a controlled cool down, using blankets.
We will evaluate induction heating in place of current torches. Based on our research, we will have numerous benefits including:
1. A safer environment with the elimination of open flame
2. A faster preheat time.
3. Controlled temperature during the welding
4. Consistent temperature throughout the cast component
5. Easier and faster cool down methods

Strategic Initiative Support
975145
TBS is developing a Business and Strategic Plan. We will hire a female intern that is a recent STEM graduate to support the project. She will require background that helps her understand the mining sector, metal fabrication theory, our metallurgy composition and Engineering processes, and how to translate that into value statements for the Business Plan.

TBS Wear Products Design and Evolution
953312
This project is the beginning of the next evolution of our TBS cast products, and new chrome white iron consumables development. We have modified the design and metallurgy of our cast lips, redesigned the cast heels, introduced cast edge protectors and intermediate shrouds, and created the design and metallurgy for a new line of consumable Chrome White Iron. We have dedicated our engineering resources to the design and build of the 8th generation of our prototypes, and the 1st generation of the chrome white iron products. We will continue on-site trials of the newly designed solutions and audit the results. Following the results, with the expectation of success, we will launch the new solutions globally.
