To all:- After many hours of hard work by Senator Lorna Milne on our behalf for release of the 1911 census, as Gordon Watts states "take a breather" -- BUT in nicely chosen quiet words remind every phone-in talk show, etc. the ones who served our country in World War One are only listed if they were killed. The Books of Remembrance are incomplete -- families of those who fought for us are only listed on the 1911 census. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/committee.html ======================= MESSAGE FROM GORDON WATTS Greetings All. It is official. Bill S-13 is dead. This afternoon Prime Minister Jean Chetien announced that Parliament has been prorogued. This means that all unfinished business before Parliament dies on the Order Paper. The next session of Parliament is scheduled to start 12 January 2004. Hopefully this will allow us the time necessary to see our legal action scheduled for a hearing before the Federal Court and to receive a favourable verdict for the release of the 1911 Census. With a change of Prime Minister, and new Cabinet Members, perhaps we may get some that will listen to us instead of listening to the dictates of the Chief Statistician. Take a breather, and get ready to start writing letters once again. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
