Greetings All.

Extracts from Hansard regarding the latest round of debates in the House
of Common on Bill S-13 have been placed on the Post 1901 Census Project
website in both official languages. They are accessible at

A verbal vote was taken on the motion to have Second reading and refer
the Bill to Committee. This vote passed, however a recorded vote was
called for and will take place, assuming Parliament has not been
proroqued, on Monday 17 November 2003 (as shown on the Projected Order
of Business for the House of Commons).

For those who have questioned why no motions for amendments were made
during this debate, amendments to the Bill cannot be proposed at this
stage. According to the Rules of Parliament amendments to Bills can be
made for various reasons during Committee, at Report Stage, and at Third
Reading.

Happy Hunting
