What is likely to be the last of my columns on the Post 1901 Census issue for the year 2004 has been posted to http://globalgenealogy.com/globalgazette/gazce/gazce110.htm Topics included in this issue include: Information Commissioner proceeding with legal action; Bill S-18; and Holiday Greetings. Unless something extraordinary happens my next column will be posted sometime in January 2005. As of Tuesday 14 December, Second Reading debate of Bill S-18 in the Senate has not yet been resumed. As there is, at most, today and Thursday left before the Senate recesses for the Christmas break, it would seem unlikely that Bill S-18 will be referred to Committee this year. Perhaps the Grinch has found a home in the Senate chambers. <]:-) Parliament will not resume sitting again until Monday, 31 January 2005. I leave Friday morning to travel to Calgary to spend Christmas with my son and two of my granddaughters. While I am away I will be keeping up with my email, and what, if anything is happening with the Census issue. It is unlikely that I will be doing much, if any, updating of the Post 1901 Census Project website. I will be returning home a few days after the New Year. For those who, like myself, drive to visit loved ones at this time of year, I urge you to take a little extra care, and a little extra time to get where you are going. Whether you travel a great distance, or only a few miles, we want you to return home safely. At the risk of being considered 'politically incorrect', I will take this opportunity, on behalf of myself and the Canada Census Committee, to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Best Wishes also to anyone who may not celebrate Christmas, but celebrate holidays specific to their own faith. May each of you enjoy good health, good cheer, and prosperity in the coming year.
