Subject: [DUFFERIN-L] Post 1901 Census -- Parliament in recess -- time for petitions!!
Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2004 10:08:12 -0500


Read the following, please -- a great time for GENEALOGICAL
SOCIETIES to put together petitions and give these PERSONALLY
to the Member of Parliament in the riding. There must be 25 names
on the petition, according to Parliamentary rule. If not given to the
Member of Parliament, send to me at
25 Crestview Avenue, Brampton, ON L6W 2R8

note:- The SENATORS are also in his/her home area!!
============
Greetings All.

Parliament has recessed until Monday 22 March 2004. It is reasonable to
assume that many of our Members of Parliament will be spending some time
in their constituency offices.

This could be a great opportunity to make an appointment to visit your
MP and tell him/her of our concerns regarding access to Historic Census
records. Let them know that what we seek is the SAME, UNRESTRICTED
access to Historic Census records, 92 years after collection, that we
currently have for 240 years of Census records up to and including those
for 1906.

Before visiting your MP check their current position on the Scoreboard
on the Post 1901 Census Project website at the URL following my
signature. Give your thanks to those who have Gold Ticks of support,
and try to get a commitment of support for access from those sitting on
the fence, or those who have not yet responded to our questions of
support. If you get a response that is different than that shown on the
Scoreboard please let me know so that the Scoreboard can be updated.

Happy Hunting

Gordon A. Watts
Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee
Port Coquitlam, BC
