To all:- A tip of the hat to a number of Canadian Alliance Members of Parliament who have been wise to SUPPORT release of post-1901 census records to National Archives. Following legislation change, and release to the National Archives, family researchers will be able to research 1911 in 2003. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm This is the site of the Member of Parliament Scoreboard, to be published provincially BEFORE the next federal election. At present, give Mr. Stockwell Day the well-known BLUE ? -- he has not replied -- he may not be an elected MP as yet, but we want his views! SUPPORTIVE: - Canadian Alliance Members of Parliament----- Mrs. Diane Ablonczy Rick Casson David Chatters Miss Deborah Grey Dr. Grant Hill Rahim Jaffer Jason Kenney Eric Lowther Ian McClelland Deepak Obhrai Jack Ramsay Myron Thompson NOT QUITE CERTAIN WHETHER TO SAY "YES" OR "NO" MPs:- Canadian Alliance Members of Parliament:- [Still clinging to their personal little piece of green fence} Leon Benoit Preston Manning Charlie Penson John Williams Members of Parliament WHO DID NOT ANSWER - many have written:- Liberal Party:- The Hon. David Kilgour The Hon. Anne McLellan Canadian Alliance Party:- Ken Epp Peter Goldring Cliff Breitkreuz Art Hanger Dale Johnston Bob Mills Monte Solberg A number of ASSISTANTS have written -- no memo to post as yet. I learned three ?interesting? bits of information from a Preston Manning office memo:- 1. Motion M-160, put forth by Jason Kenney, is believed to have been defeated in June -- the official calendar and his office say NOT SO! 2. New email addresses for Canadian Alliance parties, only two were given:- <kenney@canadianalliance.ca> and <harris@canadianalliance.ca> 3. Mr. Preston Manning is not fully informed about the census release problem -- he has been sent THE MYTHS OF CENSUS but it is possibly on a shelf or basket in the office! I'm scratching my head -- wondering if this applies to all CA MPs. We have not been told, contact <gordon_watts@telus.net> Remember, anyone may write to the "fence-sitters" and "non-repliers". Have fun!!! We still want to hear Stockwell Day's opinion -- I will likely receive Joe Clark's viewpoint first!!!!!! [Mr. Clark should realize the Nova Scotians are avid family researchers].
