Payment

Any payment made by the government is subject to there being an appropriation by Parliament for the fiscal year in which the payment is to be made. In the event that departmental funding levels are changed by Parliament, a contribution may be reduced or cancelled. 

Contributions will be paid as a reimbursement for actual eligible expenditures made by a Recipient, based on proof of payment, as part of undertaking the project. In exceptional cases where advance payments may be required, the amount will be determined in accordance with the Government’s Policy on Transfer Payments. (Further details concerning advance payments may be obtained from the Transport Canada regional offices.)

A minimum of 10% of the contribution will be held back until Transport Canada has received evidence that the Recipient has fully complied with the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement.

For any project consisting of the procurement of heavy airside mobile equipment for the airport, no payment of the contribution will be made until the Recipient has met delivery, registration, insurance and training requirements, as specified in the Contribution Agreement.

The scope of a project cannot be changed without written agreement between the Recipient and Transport Canada. Costs associated with work performed outside the approved scope without prior approval of Transport Canada will be the responsibility of the Recipient.

Any costs over and above the approved level of funding will be the responsibility of the Recipient.

The Recipient shall seek to achieve Best Value throughout all phases of the implementation of the project.
