Subject: Post 1901 Census -- Petition Totals
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 12:22:02 -0800

Greetings All

I have just finished collating the petitions for the House of Commons
that I have received since 28 October 2002. The break down is as
follows:

Province Previous Current Total
==============================
BC 2886 462 3348
AB 5770 57 5827
SK 1076 21 1097
MB 473 56 529
ON 3872 528 4400
PQ 985 120 1105
NB 571 23 594
NS 1014 119 1133
PE 99 0 99
NF 260 0 260
YT 7 33 40
NT 0 0 0
NUN 0 0 0
===============================
Totals 14842 1419 18432

I will be presenting these 1419 signatures to MP Murray Calder while I
am in Ottawa to attend Senate Committee hearings on Bill S-13.

Senator Lorna Milne has, as of 5 February 2003, presented 20,672+
Canadian and Non-Resident signatures on petitions to the Senate since
the election of November 2000. Prior to the election she had presented
more than 6000 signatures.

This brings the total number of signatures on our petitions alone, since
the November 2000 federal election, to 45,104+

Add to this figure the estimated 16,000 signatures on petitions, letters
and email to MPs, and submissions to the Expert Panel on Access of
Historical Census Records sent prior to the election of November 2000,
we achieve a total of 61,104+ signatures sent to Ottawa.

This figure does not include additional unknown numbers of signatures on
letters and email sent prior to, or following the November 2000
election, or on petitions not directed through either myself or Muriel
before or since that election. Neither does it include signatures on
petitions that may have been sent by groups other than the Canada Census
Committee. We have no means of tracking numbers of letters or email
sent.

Happy Hunting
