To all:- As soon as Gordon and I receive details -- we will be "shouting" it from coast-to-coast-to-coast! I am counting the hours!! Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee --------------- Greetings All. I pass the following message on for the information of all those on the mail lists who have been helping in our campaign to regain public access to Post 1901 Census records. The message from Jeff, on behalf of Senator Milne, is definitely encouraging but I will not hold my breath until I see the actual proposed legislation. Rest assured that we will pass on any developments as soon as we are able. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

The Canada Census Committee has done a remarkable job ensuring that every Senator and MP knows all about the campaign to release the 1906 census. As you all know, the big breakthrough came on October 3 when Minister Boudria announced that the government would take action. Since then we've been awaiting the details. I can now tell you that the details are coming very soon. In fact, each of you should be keeping an eye out over the course of the next few days for a late Christmas present for Minister Allan Rock. A little bird has told me that he has a gift for each of you that is just a little bit bigger than you may be expecting. I'm looking forward to telling you all of the details. Thanks again for all of your hard work, and my particular thanks to Muriel Davidson and Gordon Watts --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
