My thanks to Wayne Cook for bringing to our attention the Toronto Star report of a pending Cabinet Shuffle. FYI the following email has just been sent to John Manley, currently Industry Minister. Happy Hunting. Gordon =========================== 19 August 2000 The Honourable John Manley, PC, MP, Minister for Industry House of Commons, Parliament Buildings OTTAWA, Ontario, K1A 0A6 Dear Mr. Manley. The Toronto Star of 19 August 2000 headlined an article reporting the possibility of a Cabinet shuffle as early as the day following Labour Day. Among the positions listed, of those who could be moved, was your own name as Industry Minister. Mr. Manley, the possibility of you no longer being Industry Minister increases dramatically the urgency of the release to the Public of the Report of the Expert Panel on Historic Census. On behalf of the many thousands of Canadian citizens who, without access to Post 1901 Census records, may never be able to determine their ancestral origins, I again urge the immediate release of this report. Do not throw away the time and use of Public funds spent in the commission of this report by having it die with your removal as Industry Minister. Your immediate and personal response is respectfully requested. Thank you. Sincerely Gordon A. WATTS gordon_watts@telus.net Canada Census Committee =========================== Gordon A.
