    1. [Queens] Post 1901 Census -- Debate of Bill S-13
    2. Muriel M. Davidson
    3. Greetings All. Even though Bill S-13 - an Act to amend the Statistics Act - was on the schedule for second debate in the House of Commons three days of this past week, it did not happen. The projected schedule for the coming week does not show Bill S-13 as being included. I stand to be corrected, but it begins to look as if no further action on Bill S-13 will happen before Parliament recesses for the summer. If so, this gives us more time to convince our Parliamentarians of the need for amendments to remove the conditions and restrictions imposed by the Bill. 1 June 2003, last week, marked the 92 year anniversary of the taking of the 1911 Census. We suggest that all who are interested in regaining access to Census records submit an Access to Information request for access to the 1911 Census records. While we expect all such requests to be refused, submitting them is another way of applying pressure on the government. Information on how to submit ATI requests has been posted on the Post 1901 Census Project website at the URL following my signature. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
