The Conservative Party supports the preservation of census records and the subsequent transfer of these records to the National Archives for public release. We believe that keeping the records confidential for the historical 92-year period is an adequate length of time, and that this is generally consistent with the practice in Britain and the United States, where records are kept confidential for 100 and 72 years respectively. I personally support the position that the Party has taken. Thank you for your interest in this matter and keeping me informed of your viewpoints. Yours truly, Ed Komarnicki, MP Souris-Moose Mountain.
