If you remember, the 1906 census for three prairie provinces was due to be released in March, 1998 - 92 years after enumeration. It was due to the threat of a federal lawsuit against one person that the sudden release finally came on January 24, 2003 -- only FIVE years late! Also, it is released in same UNRESTRICTED format as 1901. However, Bill S-13 as written will restrict census records as we know them -- it is our hope the House of Commons will be able to do what the Senate has not accomplished. In stating this, I do not include the Senator who sponsored Bill S-13, but the ones who are very negative, one Senator even thought the 1906 census included British Columbia -- NO -- Manitoba! One has to read the extracts from Hansard to understand the negativism among the appointed politicians. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/index.htm Muriel M.

What is Bill S-13 trying to do? I am under the impression that it is going to restrict access from the any future census, because how can they not publish 1911 census when it is the law to do so after 92 years?
