Greetings All. I received notice today that the Senate Committee hearing on Bill S-12, at which Chief Statistician Dr. Ivan Fellegi was to appear, has been postponed. It was to have been tomorrow, 17 April 2002. I received no reason for the postponement, except that the revised schedule now shows an in camera debate on 'The state of the health care system in Canada'. I am advised that Senator Milne consented to the postponement and that Senator Kirby, Chair of the Committee, has requested a short extension on the 30 April deadline for referral of the Bill back to the Senate. I expect to be advised by the clerk of the Committee when the hearing on S-12 is rescheduled. There is apparently a rumour going around the hill that Industry Minister Alan Rock MAY be preparing to make an announcement relating to the release of Historic Census records. There are no ironclad guarantees of this, but that is the rumour -- so I am told. To help Mr. Rock make up his mind, we have a suggestion for the next 72 hours or so. If you have access to a fax machine, send a fax to Mr. Rock, requesting that he take immediate action to ensure the continuing release of Historic Census records in accordance with the National Archives of Canada and Privacy Acts. Be polite and respectful, and REQUEST that he take action, rather than DEMAND it. Send one fax per person and make sure that they are individually signed. Each person should use their own words and full mailing addresses should be included. Mr. Rock's Fax Number is (613) 992-0302 Do not forget to input the appropriate long distance access number. (In Canada and the US it is 1 ). For this exercise, please use ONLY fax -- no email. Happy Hunting. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC http://globalgenealogy.com/Census en français http://globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index_f.htm Permission to forward without notice is granted.

I just want to say thanks to this list for your help on gathering names of other cemeteries to try besides Calvary. I received many emails with names of cemeteries. There are a bunch of cemeteries in the NYC area! I am new to this list and appreciate your helpfulness. Thanks again, Don McGovern __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Greetings all. Files have just been sent for updating the Post 1901 Census Project website. MPs Walt Lastewka and Steve Mahoney have been upgraded from fence-sitters to gold ticks of support. This brings the number of MPs with gold ticks up to 149. With the strength of the House being down by seven until by-elections to be held next month, we are currently over the 50 percent mark. Senator Hervieux-Payette has responded with a non-committal reply.

The respected gentleman was drawn in to the town from the residence of Richard ELLIS, Esq.

Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of the people on the occasion. The Right Rev. Dr. RYAN has appointed the Rev. Michael CREAGAN, recently ordained, to be onrate to the Rev. Richard SCOTT, P.P., of Killeedy, in room of the Rev. Marcius CLEARY, removed to Askeaton.

Antrim - >From the "Banner of Ulster": The number of rural laborers crossing the Channel from this portin search of employment at the English and Scottish harvest, is much less than it was some years ago. Indeed, the supply seems smaller than that of last year. The reapers, however, in most cases, evidently belong to a more comfortable and better class than those who formerly "cut the hay and corn" for our neighbors on the other side of the water. They are generally stalwart young men, from Antrim, Down and Armagh, who might obtain plenty of employment at home, but prefer higher wages elsewhere. A large portion of the harvesters emigrating this season travel by rail from the inland counties to Dundalk, Newry and Londonderry. Nearly a thousand left the last-named port yesterday, by the steamer for Glasgow. Fleetwood is also a favorite port of debarkation. The Professorship of Materia Medica in Belfast College, vacant by the death of Dr. Horatio STEWART, has been filled by the appointment of Dr. Seaton REID to the chair.
