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.

Investigating Variability in Aerosols, Ultraviolet Radiation and Methane at Gale Crater
25EXPMSLYU
Lastly, this improved understanding of weather may help explain observed variations in the amount of methane and whether the source of that methane is small and local, or is carried into the crater from a larger, distant source.

HeatQuest 2.0
1029590
The conversion of low-grade waste heat to power could be a game changer in our fight to reduce carbon emissions and meet the UN clean energy sustainability goals. The sources of waste low grade heat are numerous. In the oil and gas industry alone, every day over 14.5 billion standard cubic feet of methane gas (Bcf/d) is flared and vented with the energy and heat, wasted.
