I have the excerpt from Hansard, 2nd Session, Vol 138, Issue 7 Tuesday, Nov 16, with The Hon. Gildas L. Molgat, Speaker: Sen. Milne: ----last Friday, Minister (John) Manley announced the creation of a panel on access to historical census records. The panel will report by May 31, 2000 with recommendations that will balance the need to protect personal privacy with the demands of genealogists...." (ask me for complete item) Senator Lorna Milne will soon be presenting her Private Senators' Bill on our behalf and letters and e-mails are welcome at my address. Petitions are available -- will be sent by attachment, in Word or WordPerfect. Muriel M.
