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.

Optimizing Search and Predicting Flight Delays
1008476
This project will help Trip Ninja both determine ways to calculate flight risk and create a net improvement in how costly and time-consuming queries can be. While there are other virtual interlining products on the market, none currently predict the likelihood of cancellation on any particular itinerary. This information is important to the consumer, but also allows for more accurate pricing for online travel agencies. Trip Ninja will find ways to reduce cost per query, decrease lag time, and add important information regarding on-time performance to each itinerary. We will do this using historical data to augment our current machine learning capabilities and create new opportunities for VI itineraries.
