To The Hon. George Baker, MP:- The residents of Newfoundland, and those searching for family members in Newfoundland, with census records online up to 1945, are very fortunate! However, have you thought about how residents of the other provinces feel, as we again go through the procedure to hopefully obtain access to our 1911census, and permission from the politicians to have records transferred automatically to National Archives. People are searching for family members -- they will not feel families are complete until ancerstors are found, and the most reliable resource is the Canadian Census Record, for whichever year being researched. Prior to the Nov. 27th election, when you were re-elected, you had a BLUE ? on the Census Scoreboard, telling us you preferred not to answer letters. Go to http://globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm -- Newfoundland I will not mention party politics, but would like you to answer the following:- Will you, as an elected Member of Parliament, serving the people who elected you, SUPPORT Private Member's Bills and Motions for release of the Post-1901 Canadian Census -- 1911 in 2003, 1921 in 2013? Senator Lorna Milne and Murray Calder, MP again will be presenting identically worded Private Member's Bills as we hope to gain access to our heritage and our history. I will accept an e-mail or letter as long as it has YOUR signature at the bottom, and hopeful, on behalf of the ones who elected you, your answer is YES. Muriel M.
