To Richard Harris, M.P.:- I just checked the Member of Parliament Scoreboard -- you are sitting on an uncomfortable piece of GREEN FENCE. I had hoped you would change your mind and not "follow the crowd" with either BLUE ??? (no reply) or GREEN FENCE (YES or NO????). Is there any hope YOU might change? The Scoreboard will be published in every province prior to a federal election -- the little old lady who does family history is one of your VOTERS, regardless of province. By now you will likely know the Report of the Expert Panel was given to Liberal Member John Manley on June 30, 2000. To date we do not know WHY we, you and I, who contributed to the expenses involved re this report, are not allowed to view or know contents of the report. As I understand the Canadian Alliance Members of Parliament strongly supported census release, I find it disheartening to learn there are as many in this party who do not know the difference between YES and NO. Imagine you were trying to put together a simple family history, from the period of 1881 as far as possible. You would be able to access 1891 and 1901 census records. From then on, you would have a big blank wall, thanks to the government. Check http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census -- Go to OTHER SITES You will find submissions to the Expert Panel, including Genetically Inherited Diseases, submitted by myself with help from others. There is a great deal of information prepared for you and others -- one committee members reads Hansard. The various Bills have been listed -- just click on the number. Check http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm Click on British Columbia -- admire your pretty little piece of fence, at present. Read THE MYTHS OF CENSUS by Gordon Watts -- it covers all the truths that have been kept from OUR elected Members of Parliament. With the possibility of a coming election, IF you wish to be re-elected, it might be wise to remember there are many family historians and we are the VOTERS -- to elect or not elect. It is a known fact any Member of Parliament might not be allowed to vote as they have stated and promised -- but must vote the way they are told, like little children. When we elect Members of Parliament, we HOPE for the elected MP, living on money from us, to vote for US - not the Party! Looking forward for an early reply, Muriel M.
