Dear Adele, As a history buff, particularly Canadian history, I would have absolutely no problem with releasing the census for public consumption. Thank you for your question.

Before I commit myself on the June 28th ballot, I will be basing my vote on the response to this important question. (No reply will result in a no vote for the Liberal Party). I would like to know: "What is your stand, as a party and an individual, on the release of the Post 1901 Canadian Census to the National Archivist?" For over 5 years, many of us have been waging a long & hard battle to have the Censuses released after the 92 years mandate but Stats Canada want to destroy them. This is part of Canadian history and some bright lights in Ottawa want to destroy it. Many of us want to be able to carry on our research whether it is to trace "inherited diseases" within our families, British Home Children trying to find their families, or genealogical research, AND it is all important to us. Please respond so I can decide how I want to vote. My parents live in your riding and your response on this issue will help make up their minds too.

Health Care in another issue that is important to me but your party has declared your stand on this issue. But what about your personal stand on "Women's Rights to Choose"? Or, are your beliefs the same as Mr. Harper's stand?
