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.

Feasibility of establishing a Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Ecosystem in Canada
995021
Project Summary:
This project proposes a feasibility study of the establishment of a compound semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in Canada composed of a foundry and all other elements required to produce known good and secure semiconductor devices. It also provides recommendations on where to focus attention in order to address shortcomings based on industry shared experience. The report proposes to setup a framework that follows Design Thinking methodology in approaching the ecosystem. It will review Best Practices in funding from existing frameworks like Eureka, NRC IRAP and IMEC.
