Government sales opportunities continue to rise steadily with Maryland, D.C. and Virginia contractors earning more than $69 billion in federal dollars in 2005. Overall, Metro area contractors earned more than 19% of the total federal procurement monies spent in the last year alone. As the local and national government contracting community grows, the services that they require have become more complex. In order to meet these needs, A&C has built a program that allows contractors to easily combine financial and tax management services with profit-building operations advisory services.

Residual power — that is, all powers not specified in the Constitution — resides with the federal government. The original intent of this provision was to avoid the sectionalism which had resulted in the American Civil War; ... the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council ruled in 1895 that the federal government could exercise its residual power only in wartime. As a result, responsibilities for new functions of government such as labour law or social welfare had to be accommodated under powers specified in the British North America Act. Many ended up being assigned to the provinces, so that today Canada is a highly decentralized federation. Further decentralization of functions has been implemented to accommodate Quebec. All provinces however have the right to assume the powers now exercised only by Quebec; Alberta and Ontario have expressed interest in doing so.

In 1965, the government enacted a still grander reorganization, bringing the Weather Bureau together with several other science agencies in a new agency named the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). Federal funding for meteorological research jumped sixfold (in constant dollars) in the decade 1958-1967. Then it leveled off, and for the next two decades support barely kept ahead of inflation. But the gain was permanent for people like the computer modelers who had helped to set up NCAR. Their work was a line item in NCAR's budget from the beginning, so the costly computer studies of climate went forward as a matter of course.(14)
