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.

Rural Fiber Optic Broadband Network Design and Self-Install Drops
958988
First, research, analysis and design will be undertaken to develop effective and cost-efficient network design methods for rural areas. Engineering and design tasks necessary to make rural cable network deployments effective and efficient will be completed. Where possible, existing infrastructure will be leveraged to achieve efficiencies. Incorporating wireless technologies will be examined as well.
Next, a Self-Install Fiber to the Farm product will be developed. This is aimed at developing a complete product package that will allow a farmer to self-install a fiber optic “drop” cable on their property for connection to a transport/distribution network. This product package will reduce installation costs and barriers to connectivity.
