To The Rt. Hon. Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada Congratulations on your election in your riding. We sincerely hope you will be in agreement with the following. However, the UNDECIDED symbol on the Post-1901 Census Scoreboard does not suitably reflect the thought and strength of a leader of a wonderful country such as Canada. Canadians, assisted by people of other countries, have been working since March 1999 for the release of the 1911 census records, which were scheduled to have been released June 1, 2003. The records were enumerated on March 1, 1911 -- a long time ago, and we know United States has access to the 1930 census records of their country. Census records are not only necessary when searching for family members, but these were also the last records enumerated before World War One. To date we have both 1901 and 1906 online, the latter of three provinces http://automatedgenealogy.com/ If you check you will notice only basic details are given - no private data, as this is only an index. There is a second page on microfiche, but this only gives Nationality, Place of Birth, Religion, Occupation -- PRIVACY is not invaded and 92 years is a very long time.. The Canada Census Committee have a scoreboard -- you are on http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score4.htm#PQ The GREEN symbol denotes that you are UNDECIDED or else someone else answered for you, which is not unusual. At present we do not have an existing census release bill, but are collecting signatures on petitions, coming from many countries -- see http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/ There is a great deal of information there, some of it back to when John Manley was Minister of Industry, the Expert Panel, genetics, -- plus the Canada Census committee http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/committee.html [Several changes will be made on this page] Sincerely hope you will exchange the UNDECIDED Green symbol for a Gold tick meaning YES. If not, we request you give us your reasons - 92 years is long enough. The Canada Census Committee members request you to instruct Dr. Ivan P, Fellegi to transfer the Canadian census records automatically to our National Archives -- at present, only you, as Prime Minister, can do this -- or replace him with another. At present we feel Dr. Fellegi is withholding the 1911 census records illegally -- these should have been transferred to National Library and Archives Canada long ago and released June 1, 2003 -- a year ago! YOU are the only one who has the authority to direct Dr. Fellegi to transfer the 1911 census records. Muriel M.
