National Capital Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Capital Commission (NCC) is a federal commission that administers the federally owned lands and buildings in Canada's National Capital Region, including Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec. The role of the NCC is to champion the interests of Ottawa and surrounding region as the nation's capital, typically with regards to issues of national interest, such as planning of monument and museum sites, events such Canada Day and major streetscapes such as Confederation Boulevard. The NCC also has the duty of encouraging tourism to the capital and thus runs events such as Winterlude and the Tulip Festival. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Capital_Commission   (340 words)

U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations In the National Law Enforcement Museum Act (the Act), passed in November 2000, Congress authorized the Memorial Fund to build its museum on federal land that partially abuts the Old District of Columbia City Hall, which is to be expanded and renovated for re-use by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Public Service Alliance of Canada v. National Capital Commission (T.D.) I agree with the NCC's submission that Article 47.01 deals with the organization of the NCC contrary to paragraph 69(3)(a) of the Act and the standards, procedures or processes governing the deployment, lay-off or termination of employment of employees contrary to paragraph 69(3)(b) of the Act. I accept the NCC's argument that the proposal refers to terms of classification when it refers to factor degree definitions, to a committee which shall evaluate job descriptions and organization charts, to the evaluation of benchmark positions, to grievances with respect to evaluation of positions, and to a complete review of the existing classification plan. The NCC has cited a number of conciliation board decisions wherein contracting out proposals were found, in their essence, to be proposals regarding lay-offs. reports.fja.gc.ca /fc/1998/pub/v2/1998fc21413.html   (6862 words)

Vietnam Veterans Plaque, HR3293 On the basis of the advice of the National Capital Memorial Commission, as well as our experience and understanding of the legislative history of the Commemorative Works Act, we believe Congress intended that future military memorials, other than those explicitly allowed by the Act, be placed on military land. The Commission noted that the need for memorials to veterans groups was identified in the drafting of the Commemorative Works Act and, as a result, military properties were purposefully excluded from the requirements imposed on Department of the Interior and General Services Administration lands. The Commission also recommended a correction to address conflicting language in the bill that requires the American Battle Monuments Commission, a Federal entity, to undertake responsibility for the installation of the plaque while also directing that no Federal funds be expended for its installation. www.nps.gov /legal/testimony/106th/vetvetpl.htm   (854 words)
