Hello Nancy:- I have been working on this matter (census) since March, 1999 and know Senator Lorna Milne very well -- a neighbour and friend. There was NO POSITIVE support in the Senate -- and I, for one, am very happy that Bill S-13 is now on its way to the House of Commons. Check to see if YOUR Member of Parliament will agree to fight to get rid of the restrictions -- some are supportive -- but way back in 1999, 2000, etc. -- we need 2003 support of making Bill S-13 clear the House of Commons in UNRESTRICTED form. Discuss matters all you like -- but NOBODY, including myself or others deserve some of the remarks that have been posted for all to read. Shift YOUR thoughts to the House of Commons -- we elected them! Muriel M.

I urge honourable senators to do exactly that and without delay." They've won. Apparently on this list, we can write kudos for Parliamentarians who agree with our "party line" of this list, but cannot criticize those elected officials who don't. It has been my impression that we are supposed to look up to "that person" as a standard-bearer of the genealogy community. I cannot do that. Nancy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
