Muriel, Just to let you know, I also sent an email to John Manley. I don't know if they - the politicians - realize the magnitude of this information. I am writing from the good old USA.Maybe, that will make a difference,and maybe it won't. I have ancestors in Canada to research. Anything on line is a bonus. Good luck! Betsy Baer <mimi@sunet.net> ------------------------------------------------- Hi Betsy:- On behalf of all members of the Canada Census Committee, my sincere thanks for writing to John Manley. I truly agree, I do not believe the politicians understand the vast amount of homegrown data they are keeping from us -- data that would assist many in finding lost relatives. Due to posting of numbers for both Ontario and Quebec stating many had not replied I have had many memos, plus several used this memo to try to unsubscribe. We also love PETITIONS -- the Non-Canada one, to be used by Senator Lorna Milne, as she has Bill S-15 -- my address is on the petition, either Word or WordPerfect:- http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/petition.htm Again, sincere thanks:- Muriel M.
