Method & sources

Source: Government of Canada "Proactive Disclosure – Grants and Contributions" (Open Government Licence – Canada). We include agreements with for-profit recipients that started on or after April 1, 2021, and keep the latest amendment of each agreement, so values are the current agreement value, not money paid out. Departments report on their own schedule, so the most recent quarter is incomplete. Recipients are linked to company pages by exact name match. This is not an endorsement or an eligibility determination — check each program's official page.
