The following is a recent message sent to me:- I appreciate all you and Gordon Watts plus others have done to support and document reasons the census records should be released. I do think it would enhance our campaign to MP's if someone could draft a short French or bilingual message that we could send to the francophone MPs in Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. There are a lot of these members and we need them as supporters if the issue comes to a vote in the House of Commons. As a resident of Ottawa I know the importance of bilingualism and we could lose the support of francophone MPs if we send them English-only letters. Are there any genealogists in Quebec who could help by giving us a French message? ============================ To all:- I agree with the above message, have asked one of the committee members to date -- but no reply. We need a two or three paragraph message (with English translation) about the need to have the post-1901 census records released. The same message could be sent to the French language newspapers thus reaching many not on internet. Check the following URLs for information re census, please. Muriel M.
