To Senator Pat Carney - British Columbia Dear Senator Carney:- I checked your message board before starting this memo to you -- much has happened since 2002 and we sincerely hope you will be supportive of Senator Lorna Milne. It might surprise you how quickly your present GREEN symbol can be changed to GOLD by a fellow British Columbian, Gordon Watts, the other Co-Chair. As you likely know, Senator Milne presented Bill S-18 on November 2nd, a Bill to amend the restrictions that had been posed by Statistics Canada. It is a non-restrictive Bill, and with support, should move quickly through the Senate and House of Commons. The Canada Census Committee uses symbols to denote whether a Member of Parliament or a Senator is in favour of any Bills presented. You will find your message board at http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore2.htm#BC Click on your name at the left. A positive reply will quickly change the GREEN to GOLD. The Census Records of Canada are released (or supposed to be) every 92-year period -- the 1911 census records should have been released June 1, 2003. When this Bill passes, it will ensure all census records, 1911 to 2001 will be released automatically after 92-years from the date of enumeration. This does seem a long time, but these records are a great assistance to ones searching missing family members. Also, the 1911 was the last census taken prior to World War One. An email answer will be gladly received, Sincerely, Muriel M. Davidson [email protected] Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee 25 Crestview Avenue, Brampton, ON L6W 2R8 http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index.htm
