An Act to amend the Financial Administration Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts (debt forgiveness registry)

Bill C-230 in 45-1 was a Conservative Private Member's Bill amending the Financial Administration Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. F-11) to require enhanced public reporting on federal-government grants and contributions over $1 million. Currently the Treasury Board's Open Government initiative publishes proactive disclosure of grants over $25,000 but not the underlying performance-data details. The bill would have required federal departments to publish performance indicators, outcome assessments, and recipient compliance reports for each grant or contribution over $1 million within 60 days of disbursement. Brought after multiple federal-grant-and-contribution controversies including the Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) governance failures (Auditor General Report May 2024). Did not pass second reading.
