To: Don Boudria, MP Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 2:48 PM Subject: Post 1901 Census Mr. Don Boudria, M.P. Glengarry-Prescott-Russell: It is noted on the Post 1901 web site that you are on the fence (undecided) on how you are going to vote for this Bill when it comes back to the floor of the House. Have you contacted any of your constituents on this matter ? The people who elected you to represent them in the House ? Many of your constituents are eagerly awaiting the release of the 1906 and 1911 Census and are trying to get family information to complete their family tree and ancestry links. I am not one of your constituents, but I am doing research for family in your riding and your YES vote will assist me in my search. Would you please change you Undecided mark to a YES vote on the 1906 and the 1911 Census release to the Archives Canada ? Respectfully M. Frank McKERRY, C.D. Vernon, B.C. 05/09/2002 - letter from MP Don Boudria to Muriel M. Davidson.

To: Don Boudria, MP Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 8:49 PM Subject: Post 1901 Census Reports Dear Mr. Boudria: Although I am not one of your constituents, I do feel a sense of urgency to express to you my concern regarding the post 1901 Census reports. I am one of 7.5 million plus Canadians involved in Genealogical research. Myself and millions of citizens, in our quest for our past, for our Canadian heritage, depend heavily upon the information provided in Census reports. It is very important to me that my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and so on, be educated and learn about their ancestors - where they were born, how they lived and what they did for a living. Many of our relatives are dispersed all across the world, and only through the post 1901 Census reports are we able to trace them. It would be wonderful to have family reunions and get to know these precious people. Unfortunately, these family reunions cannot take place because, under current legislation, post 1901 Census reports will not be released to the Public after 92 years, as have been Census reports up to and including 1901. I am asking for your support to amend the legislation which will allow release to the Public of Census records after 92 years, starting with the 1911 Census. As a concerned Canadian citizen, I am asking you the following question:"Would you, as a Member of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Canada, having been placed in that position by the voting citizens of your Constituency, vote FOR or AGAINST a Bill supporting release to the Public of post 1901 Census records after 92 years, starting with the 1906 Census? I await your answer to this question at your earliest convenience, and thank you for taking the time to read my e-mail. God bless you. Sincerely, Helene Conroy 05/24/2001 - email to MP Don Boudria from Muriel M. Davidson. From: Muriel M. Davidson To: Don Boudria - MP Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 10:04 PM Subject: Could I Possibly Have A 2001 Answer???? To The Hon. Don Boudria, MP Dear Sir:- I watch and listen to you on CPAC -- wonder how you keep all the papers and facts straight! However, this evening I read your message board -- no message!!

Would you send a short email to me re your opinion of 2001 as these are required to update the Member of Parliament Scoreboard? Thanking you in advance, Muriel M. Davidson Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee 06/30/99- letter from the political advisor to The Hon. Don Boudria to Helen Callaway (Global Genealogy): 04/30/99- e-mail from The Global Gazette to MP
