To the following:- Senator Douglas Roche -- Alberta Senator Lowell Murray -- Ontario Senator Yves Morin - Quebec Senator Noel A. Kinsella - New Brunswick Senator Gerald Comeau -- Nova Scotia http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm Check the above URL, click on your various provinces and you will find the glaring RED X for all to see -- your personal message boards do not state very much. Personally, knowing there might be problems after the 1901 census, I have been working for release of the 1911 and later census records since late 1980s. Very possibly many are familiar with the Canada Census Committee a group of Canadians and also Americans working for release of the records. The reasons vary -- lost family members, genetically inherited diseases, Home Children -- I could give you several more. None of the more than 7.5 million researchers in Canada are doing this for public and profitable gain. Families have separated over the years, addresses become lost -- plus we have marriages and deaths. The Canada Census Committee members will be very happy to leave your personal glaring RED X for all to note -- IF logical reasons WHY you feel the census should not be released. During this past summer, members of the Acadian communities in Nova Scotia celebrated -- my home community was founded in 1603 before Port Royal so I am justly proud. The CBC will air a two-hour show tomorrow evening at 7 PM EST -- should you watch this show, you might understand why heritage is valuable. I will be looking forward to YOUR personal answers -- when these are received, Gordon Watts will post them on your message board. Sincerely, Muriel M.
