Mr. Scott Reid, M.P. (Lanark-Carleton):- First of all, I know the House of Commons is not in session, but many family researchers keep hoping for the day the 1906 and 1911 census records will be released. The 1906 one should have been released in 1998, the 1911 is supposed to be released in 2003 --- if the 92-year waiting period is followed. We believe we know the reason Dr. Ivan Fellegi has given a very definite NO to release -- hence the federal lawsuit to gain access to very important records of a high immigration period to three prairie provinces. The Toronto Star recently did an excellent interview:- http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/1906census.html Senator Lorna Milne, also of Brampton, ON is a personal friend, and at present her Bill S-12 is slowly wending its way towards a vote and then House of Commons. The wording of the bill is the same as the one by Murray Calder which was declared non-votable by a committee. However, many family researchers still look forward to census release. We sincerely hope you will lend your support to this important issue as many search for lost family members. Muriel M.
