If only a Second Reading is given, please keep in contact with your respective Members of Parliament -- personally, but if by email, print and sign the email and post it. Complete address must be given -- in any riding, there are many people and how would an MP know if Jane Jones would be a constituent -- except for the address.

As I spent 11 hours today (Monday 30 May) driving from Calgary to my home in Port Coquitlam I had no oportunity to access CPAC and so do not know yet if Bill S-18 was debated in the House of Commons. I will find that out when I access the Hansard transcripts tomorrow morning. What I do know is that Bill S-18 no longer appears on the Projected Order of Business for the rest of this week. I think that I will give up trying to figure out how things work, and how and why things appear on the Projected Order of Business. Every time I think I have it worked out something different happens. All we can do is keep the pressure on our MPs so they do not think that we have given up. I have been trying to find out if the sitting days of Parliament have been extended to 23 June, but have not yet received any response to my email to the Parliament website. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Dear Fellow Researchers: 1. Terrace Lawn Cemetery is a large 91 years old cemetery near the centre of North Bay, Ontario. 2. The cemetery is slowly but surely deteriorating, mainly because the plots have been all sold and the maintenance of the cemetery is relying mainly on the interest from the Perpetual Care Trust Fund. Most of you likely know with the reduced interest rates over the past 10 years or so....the interest on these funds is also reduced and one does not need to be a banker to paint a clear picture. 3. This message is for the information of all those folks who may be associated with and familiar with the inherent problems trying to effect proper care and maintenance of older cemeteries in their communities in Ontario and likely elsewhere. 4. The message is more specifically addressed to descendants of ancestors buried in Terrace Lawn Cemetery in North Bay and who are dispersed all over the world. Should you know a friend or family member who are descendants, please pass the message to them. 5. The message? Please check http://home.cogeco.ca/~terrace for details about the situation and how your help can really make a difference.

In my searching I have come across LATHAM families in Bristol, Pontiac, Quebec. John LATHAM is reported to have arrived around 1812 (military?) from County Tyrone. His father is reported to be a Nathanial LATHAM who died in Ireland in 1835. I have tracked them in census and church records so far. There is also a James LATHAM who would be a contemporary. Neither Griffiths Index nor the Freeholders Index of Ireland shows a Nathanial LATHAM but there are other spellings - LEATHEM and LEATHAM. There are no LATHAM or related spellings in Tyrone in Griffiths. My theory is that the families are related. Does anyone have any connection to these people and can cast some light on the matter?

Greetings All. Contrary to my earlier expectations, today's session in the House of Commons (Friday 20 May) did include two periods of debate on Government Orders. Unfortunately the time allotted for both periods was taken up entirely with debate on Bill C-9. There was no debate today on Bill S-18 or any of the other Bills currently shown on the Projected Order of Business. It would appear that on any given sitting day, appearance of a Bill on the Projected Order of Business is not a guarantee that it will be debated on that day. My assumption now is that once on the POB, a Bill should remain there until it has been dealt with. If the Bills on the POB are dealt with continuously, in the order in which they appear on the POB, it would appear that Second Reading debate of Bill S-18 is unlikely to begin until close to the time when Parliament would normally recess for the summer on 9 June 2005. By my estimate the four government Bills currently shown on the POB before Bill S-18, if dealt with consecutively, will take up a minimum of 14 to 16 hours of debate. With Government Orders normally taking up two hours of debate per day, it would take 7 to 8 sitting days before they get to start debate of Bill S-18. There are currently only nine sitting days left until the normal date that Parliament would recess for the summer. One media report has shown the last day of sitting as 23 June which would indicate that the session has been extended by ten days. However I have yet to see anything official indicating that such is the case. I expect if I am incorrect in any of my assumptions here, that Jeff will likely correct me. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Subsequent to my earlier message, the Projected Order of Business for the House of Commons now shows Bill S-18 on the agenda for tomorrow, Friday 20 May 2005. It appears under 'Government Orders', which are dealt with from 10:00 to 11:00 AM Eastern Time. During most days of the week, 'Government Orders' normally have two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. On Fridays however, the House normally adjourns earlier than on other days to allow time for those MPs who must travel. The Projected Order of Business for Friday shows only the one morning session for 'Government Orders'. There are four other government Bills listed for the same time period so it remains to be seen how much time will be allotted for Bill S-18. Happy Hunting Gordon A.

Greetings All With Belinda Stronach crossing the floor to the Liberals the chance of the Budget vote failing on Thursday is lessened, but a passing vote is by no means a certainty yet. The Government needs the support of at least one of two so far undeclared Independent MPs for the vote to pass. Because the vote has been declared one of 'confidence', if it fails an election will be called and Bill S-18 goes into the dumper. If the vote passes, an election will be delayed and Bill S-18 should hopefully once again appear on the Projected Order of Business for the House of Commons. Our major problem then returns once more to one of time. According to the Parliamentary Calendar the House of Commons does not sit next week. They resume sitting on 30 May and continue for nine sitting days to the normal start of the summer recess on 9 June. There is a possibility that sitting can be extended for up to 10 days, but as yet there is no indication that is likely to happen. If the powers that be have not listened to our urging to see S-18 passed in a single day, and it follows the normal route, I see little chance that it will be passed before Parliament recesses for the summer. I would love to be proved wrong. As I write this, a few government Bills have been added to Wednesday's Projected Order of Business for the House of Commons. Unfortunately Bill S-18 is not one of them. Happy Hunting Gordon A.

To all readers:- In 2005, The Year of the Veteran, it had been hoped Bill S-18 would be passed prior to VE-Day as a tribute to all veterans, especially those who served during World War One -- their family records are enumerated on the 1911 census. Queen Elizabeth is in Canada and there could be no better way to honor her ancestor, Queen Victoria than by fast-tracking S-18, as we look forward to the May 23rd holiday. Members of the Royal Family have served during war-time as did Queen Elizabeth II and her husband. Hopefully Parliament will still be active as Members of Parliament will be in his or her ridings for a scheduled break including Victoria Day. Bill S-18, a non-partisan government bill, An Act to Amend the Statistics Act, was scheduled for release June 1, 2003. Census records, 1911 to 2001, would be automatically released at 10-year intervals, 92 years after enumeration, with consent of Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi, Chief Statistician. He needs Bill S-18 passed to prepare the 2006 census papers. Descendants of World War One service personnel are hoping the 1911 census records will be released -- these contain family groupings of many who never returned, but buried overseas. Check http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm and send a request TODAY to your Member of Parliament -- also to others whom you feel may assist. Some politicians did spend a few hours paying tribute before and after VE-Day -- now it is time to finish the tribute by fast-tracking Bill S-18! Muriel M.

The vote in the Commons, just concluded, was 152 in favour and 144 against continuing the Business of the the House, and of the Country. Bill S-18 was not dealt with today, and as I write this the Projected Order of Business for tomorrow has not yet been posted. It appears that regardless of what is posted for the agenda, it is unlikely that any business of the House will be allowed to proceed. I am quite frankly greatly disappointed, and disgusted, (polite terms) with the games being played by our Parliamentary representatives, regardless of what Party they belong to.

This week however it seems that they are placing information on the website for only one day at a time. The schedule for today (Wednesday) shows several items of Government Business, but makes no mention of Bill S-18.

To Albina Guarnierei - MP, Minister of Veteran's Affairs When you stood up as Minister of Veteran's Affairs and moved that ???????????? [Information or Bill Number not given} -- as you speak very quietly, WHAT was the following in relation to the Veterans? Second and Third Reading, Committee and Report be bypassed and the ???? be PASSED Generally there is a Bill Number given on television. As Bill S-18 is of concern to family members of all veterans, could the same be done for this very important Bill? It is a government bill -- would give automatic release of the overdue 1911 census [plus others as 10-year intervals]. As you have visited Sunnybrook, you have likely met Clare Laking, a WWI veteran, only 106 years of age. He and his grandparents, parents and a brother appear on the 1901 census in the Halton County listing. As you know, from your visit to Europe, many World War One service personnel did not return home -- could this not be added as a tribute to the veterans in The Year of the Veteran?

To all:- The other week I posted a memo with three requests I would like to see finalized prior to any vote to finalize this session of Parliament. The three requests were Bill S-18, now waiting for Second Reading in the Houseof Commons; a DNA Federal Database; and Bill S-2 -- the Lost Canadians bill was passed. When writing to YOUR Member of Parliament, please write in your own words, and add full name and address -- not just a first name. We all desire Bill S-18 -- I did not get my wish and have it passed prior to VE-Day -- but with all the ceremonies fresh in the minds of politicians, this week would still be alright!! Veterans at Sunnybrook watched ceremonies at Ottawa and in Holland yesterday -- while four leaders paid a visit today!!! The governor-general represented Canada in Russia -- the ceremony was terrific. Check http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/ See "Progress of Bill S-18" A DNA Federal Database is very definitely needed -- watch the news about another pedophile being "dropped" in the community of Sutton, Ontario. Offenders, not always sex offenders, have often disappeared, but with a DNA federal database, our police forces would have a great tool to assist them. Check Christopher's Law at http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/DBLaws/Source/Statutes/English/2000/S00001_e.htm Problem:- This law should be federal. Christopher Stevephenson of Brampton, Ontario would now be about 24 if a pedophile, unknown to local police, had not be placed in a Brampton community.
