Use this tool to search how the Government of Canada spends money. The data in this tool comes from multiple publicly available Government of Canada sources including Grants and Contributions, Contracts over $10K, the Public Accounts' transfer payments, research funding databases (SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR), and Global Affairs Canada projects. Type in one or more keywords and filter the results by year, department, recipient, program or location to explore the data. Contracts of $10,000 and under are published only as each department's yearly totals, which its spending page shows.
