To all, with new Scoreboard totals:- Go to: http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm The following was the result of a long awaited phone call from Louise Hardy, MP -- to read it on the message board go to the MPs Scoreboard, then N.W.T, Yukon & Nunavut. Click on the left side where her name is listed. Her message looks much better there, in print, than after a trip through e-mail -- I had hoped Ms. Hardy would be more positive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 08/22/2000 - email from Muriel M. Davidson to MP Lousie Hardy. To Louise Hardy, MP:- Many thanks for the long-awaited phone call and although I am disappointed you do not support release of census records, I do understand your viewpoint. The release of the overdue Report of the Expert Panel, delivered to the Hon. John Manley, PC, MP, June 30, 2000, would change the thoughts and viewpoints of many elected Members of Parliament. Sincerely hope you will be able to use your vantage point to add pressure on the Liberal Party for release of this report. As I mentioned, it may not be Mr. Manley who is holding up the report, but someone else in the Liberal Party. Re Jason Kenney's Motion M-160, it is basically PROTECTION of the census records, not release -- moving them to National Archives, the motion does not cover RELEASE to researchers, as does the 1901 census. Should you wish to change your opinion, please contact me, Many thanks again for calling, Muriel M. Davidson Canada Census Committee ---------------------------------------------------- My personal viewpoint is that both Liberal and Bloc Members, plus some of the supposedly supportive Canadian Alliance are waiting for the Report of the Expert Panel. In the meantime, remember, SEPTEMBER 10TH IS MAIL DAY -- not e-mail! (More another time) Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> 1-905-451-3542
