Is it possible that bill S-13 is dead? Wouldn't that be the best thing that could possibly happen to it? It doesn't seem to have a very high priority in the House of Commons. They are spending their time arguing about whether or not the Minister should be able to rescind a persons Citizenship without a Court hearing; the travel expenses of the Privacy Commissioner, "Mad Cow" disease, and what's going on with SARS. Each of those things is a lot more important than bill S-13, and have justifiably dropped that bill right to the bottom of the priority list. Really, wouldn't it be much better if that bill were to just sit there and die? Every obnoxious part of it would die along with the rest. The courts will force the government to release the 1911 and 1916 censuses, so they will NOT be impacted by this bill. Then, next year when there is a new P.M., with different Ministers, maybe we can get something that is appropriate. Something simple, like a bill that clearly states that census records are to be turned over to the archives after 70 years, or 92, or whatever, with no restrictions. I'm just an old retired medico, who likes to putter around with genealogy. I could never understand why Bill S-13 was introduced. I'm happy to see that it is not being debated, and isn't getting a Second Reading. May it R.I.P. Bill
