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 Assist : Video Search Platform Build

Agreement Number:

1026392

Duration: from Jan 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

The proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) makes it possible for applications to be built that access those models and know as "intelligent applications" These applications will have wide ranging utility to streamline workflow and automate routine processes. The intelligence of the pre-trained data LLMs makes it possible to incorporate unstructured data and natural language

This project will result in the first application development environment for users to build intelligent applications based on LLMs and other unstructured data sources. The Versos platform will expose a range of services, sometimes referred to as endpoints, through an API. Users will access these "services" to accelerate the building of intelligent applications
