To all researchers, historians and genealogists: IF you want the post-1901 census records released as I do, please send Letters of Support to Senator Lorna Milne OR one to Senator Lowell Murray that you do not approve of his thoughts re our rightful history. I will happily receive all letters and mail -- OR mail direct, postage is FREE. The following is part of a release from Hansard, posted by Gordon Watts, one of the Canadian Census Committee members: ===================================== >From House of Commons Hansard, 15 Nov 1999 re Bill C-6: "In places like the Senate, we should be on guard against the apparent attempts by some historians, social scientists and journalists to persuade us that the right to collect and disseminate information should trump every other right in the book. That is why I have advocated that we revisit the idea of entrenching a right to privacy in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. "Since that time (when he spoke previously on this subject), I have had a number of indignant - indeed, in some cases irate - letters from various people, notably those interested in genealogy." The CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN-L@rootsweb.com list has received many of these letters, also many have been sent to my e-mail address. These have been tabulated and forwarded to Senator Lowell Murray!
