Greetings All

This morning, on the inaugural Internet broadcast of EssentialTalk,
a new Internet talk program in Canada accessible at
http://www.essentialtalk.com I had the pleasure of being the first
caller. The first guest of the program was Stockwell Day.

I asked him what his position on allowing access to Historic Census
was, and if he was willing to ask John Manley in Question Period why
he refuses to release the Report of the Expert Panel on Access to
Historic Census to the public.

In typical political style he did not answer the first question
directly (i.e with a "support" or "do not support" answer) but
indicated it was a very good question, and that "we have a Bill to
do just that", or words to that effect. He did not answer the
second question. He was a guest on the program for only 30 minutes.

Mr. Day's response was positive enough that I will be giving him a
gold tick on the Scoreboard. I will be sending him an email asking
what Bill he was referring to as I am not aware of anything the
Canadian Alliance has on the go since Jason Kenney's Motion M-160
was passed (in a watered down amended form). I will also ask again
if he is willing to ask John Manley in Question Period why he
refuses to release the Report of the Expert Panel to the public.
Maybe I will be fortunate enough to get a response that is not
generated by a machine.

Gordon
