My naivete clicks in and his last paragraph: "I wish to assure you that I will wholeheartedly support any initiative of my colleague, the Honourable John Manley, Minister of Industry, concerning solutions to this particular problem. My preference if there is a legal framework to do so, would be a retroactive solution, and have the 1911 records released." (end quote.) To Eugene Bellemare, MP (Carleton-Gloucester):- The above quote is taken from your personal message board at http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score3.htm#ONT The last date of any message was back in 2000 -- Are you still SUPPORTIVE of Post-1901 census release in 2001? Looking for a short e-mail -- which I will forward to Gordon Watts to bring your personal message board up-to-date. Muriel M.
