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.

Dynamic Map Auto Guidance

Agreement Number:

984043

Duration: from Dec 1, 2021 to Oct 3, 2022
Description:

The goal of this project is to develop a software that can guide a vessel from point A to point B, with the safest, most practical, and fastest on the water route factoring the current water level conditions and vessel specifics. This is exponentially more challenging than road-based navigation where a guidance algorithm only factors in the plane of the vehicles motion (X & Y). With marine navigation, all dimensions must be considered (X,Y, & Z).
