Greetings All. The following message from Senator Lorna Milne is forwarded for your information. For information about submitting Access to Information Requests for the 1911 Census of Canada please check the Post 1901 Census Project website at the URL following my signature. We encourage everyone to send ATI requests made to Statistics Canada for access to these vital records. Happy Hunting. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC http://globalgenealogy.com/Census en français http://globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index_f.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul, Jeff: SEN" <PAULJ@SEN.PARL.GC.CA> To: <CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 5:04 AM Subject: [CCC] A note from Senator Milne Dear friends: I found out this morning that the House of Commons will not deal with S-13 before they rise for the summer break. As you all know, they made several attempts to get it debated over the last few days, but were unsuccessful. The rest of the agenda is now booked with other bills including campaign finance reform and the ethics package that must get through before the end of the summer. I am extremely disappointed with this delay in our on-going campaign. I urge all members of the CCC to start a new email and letter campaign to their MPs at the beginning of September. There is not much point in writing right now because your letters will be long forgotten by the time the fall rolls around. You should write in the week or two leading up to the resumption of Parliament on September 15th. We have been working hard for almost one solid year now, and we can all use the summer to rest and recharge our batteries. I also want to congratulate Lois Sparling on her renewed attempt to get the courts to rule that Stats Canada must release the 1911 census. She has my 100% support in her endeavour. I have also been really pleased to see how many of you have filed ATI requests asking for the 1911 census. Do keep them coming. I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you, but I promise that as things develop, I will keep you posted. Yours truly, Hon. Lorna Milne Jeff Paul, Policy Advisor Office of the Hon.
