The U.S. Army Materiel Command is the Army`s premier provider of materiel readiness – technology, acquisition support, materiel development, logistics power projection, and sustainment – to the total force, across the spectrum of joint military operations. If a Soldier shoots it, drives it, flies it, wears it, eats it or communicates with it, AMC provides it. AMC is headquartered at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and impacts or has a presence in all 50 states and 144 countries. Manning these organizations is a work force of more than 65,000 dedicated military and civilian employees, many with highly developed specialties in weapons development, manufacturing and logistics. The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure decision relocated AMC headquarters to Redstone Arsenal, Ala. Personnel began relocating to Redstone in 2006 and the command was completely relocated by the summer of 2011.
The Parliament of Canada is composed of three parts: the monarch, the Senate, and the House of Commons. Each has a distinct role, but work in conjunction within the legislative process. Confederation Hall, shown on the cover of this report, probably best symbolizes the House of Commons. Arranged around a central column, the Hall represents the coming together of the provinces and territories to form a country. The many carvings that adorn this circular arcaded entrance foyer illustrate such Canadian values as peace, integrity and justice. Like Confederation Hall, the House of Commons is a meeting place. Representatives from every corner of the country come together in the Chamber and committee rooms. They bring their constituents` ideas and concerns to share with their fellow Members of Parliament. They make decisions that can affect every aspect of our lives. The House of Commons also reaches out to Canadians with information and proposals, welcoming their feedback. These avenues of communication can take many forms, from face-to-face meetings to webcasts. Communication is essential to the House of Commons as a venue in which all ideas may be expressed. The Report to Canadians 2007 presents the work of Members and the House Administration from April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007, and the Administration`s goals for the upcoming fiscal year. It also offers information on membership in the House of Commons and on the activities of Members of Parliament.
