To Robert Thibault, MP:- I keep waiting for a memo from you, stating you will support census release -- this affects the West Nova Riding, as well as all ridings across Canada. Too many newcomer Members of Parliament, like yourself, feel you should follow all the little rules and regulations as given to you -- if you do not follow the same, you might find yourself sitting the back-bench area or lose the "Hon." title. Murray Calder's C-312 Bill was turned down by a sub-committee which turned down 13 other bills in 15 minutes. He will have ONE hour of debate, but no vote. Senator Lorna Milne's S-12 Bill is in Third Reading stage, with some debate and then vote. We are hopeful for a positive vote -- then this bill comes to House of Commons. As a former Nova Scotian, on behalf of all Down Home people, will you SUPPORT census release on behalf of your constituents -- they did vote for you in 2000, please remember. Muriel M.
