Greetings All. Yesterday, Friday, I received a return telephone call from Paula Brennan, an Assistant to Industry Minister John Manley. She was able to confirm for me that Mr. Manley has at last viewed the Report of the Expert Panel on Access to Historic Census. She stated that he was currently reviewing the Report but was unable to state when it would be made available to the Public. I also received a telephone call from Dr. Pamela White, Secretariat of the Expert Panel who also advised that Mr. Manley was currently reviewing the Report of the Expert Panel. Ms. White indicated that the Report would be posted on the Statistics Canada website as soon as it was made available by Mr. Manley. Just a reminder that the final hour of debate on Jason Kenney's Motion M-160 will take place on Wednesday 20 September, two days after Parliament re-convenes. For those who view House activities on CPAC the debate should take place about 6:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. Motion M-160 states: "That, in the opinion of this House, the government should take all necessary steps to release the 1911 census records once they have been deposited in the National Archives in 2003." Motion M-160 has been deemed "votable" and, so far as I am aware it will be a "free" vote, i.e. Party leaders do not dictate how their members should (or must) vote. That vote should be recorded in Hansard and will give us an indication of how those MPs who have not bothered to respond to our letters and email might vote on a Bill to allow access to Historic Census. Once the recorded vote in Hansard is viewable on-line I will be very busy updating the MP Scoreboard on the Post 1901 Census Project website. Happy Hunting Gordon A.
