i'm going after the mp's in quebec who are not bloc. i think they would tolerate an english letter. a bloc mp might be offended..but the ones who belong to the other parties..i feel are open for approach. roz -----Original Message----- From: Muriel M.

To all:- A dear friend remarked to me -- and it is my belief:- "Friendship and Census have no political boundaries." Senator Lorna Milne was the one who stated that -- after she learned I had to look up her political affiliation. We never discussed politics, often discussed the city, neighbourhood, our families. When any person is writing to an elected Member of Parliament, let's keep politics out of the letter -- I do not mention my preferred party, and really, our goal of census release is higher than any political party. The MPs Scoreboard is now easy to read, all we need now is a bilingual person to contact some of the Quebec Members of Parliament. We do have several on the census committee, two of whom are away.
