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.

Development of software components for leak analysis (column separation and leak location) and decision making in real time
900883
Leaks can occur due to ruptures at arbitrary location along hundreds of kilometers of crude oil pipelines. Also, a change in the phase of fluid from crude oil to vapor is very common to occur in pipelines. These two seemingly independent phenomena and their predictions are of significant importance to the industries dealing with the transportation of hydrocarbons in particular. Vanmok is currently developing critical components needed for leak analysis and decision making in real time. Vanmok will develop software based on mathematical models and algorithms to accurately predict the column separation in real-time along with leak location (if both happen simultaneously).The resultant will provide unique solution to oil pipeline industry.
