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.

AI-Enabled Decision Intelligence Platform

Agreement Number:

Duration: from Apr 1, 2026 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

Clean energy, energy efficiency, and defence-relevant infrastructure projects in Canada are often delayed by fragmented regulations, standards, and technical records that must be manually synthesized. This project will advance Ultimarii’s Canadian-developed AI-enabled decision intelligence platform to improve ingestion, structuring, and analysis of complex documentation in standards-heavy environments. Targeted R&D will resolve uncertainty in data quality, context retention, explainability, and human-in-the-loop controls, reducing rework, schedule risk, and decision uncertainty while strengthening Canada’s energy sovereignty and resilient infrastructure delivery.
