Greetings All. I have just been advised that Dr. Ivan Fellegi's appearance before the Senate Committee reviewing Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 has once again been postponed. I am advised that the postponement is a result of further behind-the-scenes activities that may soon (hopefully) result in some announcements regarding public access of Post 1901 Census Records. I have no idea yet what such announcements may contain but the fact that some activity is still happening is encouraging. Postponment of the appearance of Dr. Fellegi, and return of the Bill to the Senate is supposed to be short-term -- perhaps one week. At the request of lawyers working for the Information Commissioner, yesterday I shipped more than 36 pounds of documentation to them. This documentation pertains to my research on access to Post 1901 Census Records. The lawyers are working on a complaint by Professor Bill Waiser because of the denial of Statistics Canada on his Access to Information Request for access to the 1906 Census of the Western Provinces of Canada. Things seem to be happening on a number of different fronts. We will keep you advised on anything that we might learn. What we are seeking, and what we expect to obtain, is access to Post 1901 Census records on the same basis that we currently have for those records up to and including 1901. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
