Greetings One and All. As a follow up on my posting of a few days back wherein I advised I had been invited to participate in roundtable discussions conducted by the Access to Information Review Task Force, I have an announcement: I AM GOING TO OTTAWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been advised that the government will pick up the tab for transportation and accomodation to attend these roundtable discussions. This was the only consideration that would have blocked my participation. I shall do my best to convey to them the position of genealogists and historians that public access to Historic Census records must be restored. I have also recommended to the person with whom I spoke that Lyn Winters would be a valuable addition to these discussions and I expect him to be invited to participate as well. Lyn is a member of our Census Committee, a former member of the RCMP, and a retired investigator for the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada. He is well versed in the ATI Act and is also into genealogy. It was from a posting from Lyn that I first became aware of the withholding of Post 1901 Census records some years ago. I look forward to finally meeting Lyn in person, and to working with him during these discussions. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
