To: Gwen Christie Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 10:45 AM Subject: Census Issue Dear Gwen Christie, I am fully supportive of the release of this information and am on record as being supportive. Whoever is doing your scorekeeping must be asleep by the fence. Continued success, Rodger Cuzner, M.P. Bras d'Or-Cape Breton (613) 992-6756 06/17/2001 - email to MP Roger Cuzner from Muriel M. Davidson.
To: Robert Thibault, MP; Roger Cuzner, MP Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2001 5:08 PM Subject: I Would Like Support in MY Home Province To Robert Thibault, MP and Roger Cuzner, MP:- I know both of you were only elected last November 27, in an election the country did not really desire, topped off by large raises. I am not against the Members of Parliament receiving the extra amounts, if they do the work as requested by their constituents. Your constituents elected YOU as HIS/HER Member of Parliament, not to sit there and not work on behalf of many. You were asked if YOU supported release of Post-1901 census records, used by many for family histories, searching for lost family members, etc. Instead, when you do reply, we receive many pages of dictated caucus memos, which do not answer the questions. Please discuss the census issue with your constiituents when in the home riding -- ask for opinions -- you may be surprised. After this, please sent an email to me with YOUR personal opinion. Muriel M. Davidson Co-Chair. Canada Census Committee [Nova Scotia is my home province -- I am proud to state that] 03/19/2001 - email from MP Rodger Cuzner to Sharon Walker.

I understand and appreciate your concerns on this very sensitive issue. The question of governance, privacy and the census returns has been the subject of much heated debate and was referred to an Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records. I would draw your attention to the Privacy Commissioner's submission to the Expert Panel which details the many sides to this somewhat divisive issue. The report can be found at: http://www.privcom.gc.ca/english/02_05_e_09_e.htm Your comments will be of great value to me in follow-on discussions on this important subject with my Parliamentary colleagues and I thank you for sharing them with me. Best wishes. Rodger Cuzner, M.P. Bras d'Or-Cape Breton (613) 992-6756 -----Original Message----- From: sharon walker [mailto:irelandd@golden.net] Sent: March 8, 2001 2:57 AM To: Cuzner.R@parl.gc.ca Subject: POST 1901 CENSUS I ask that you give your support to the effort now being made to allow release of post 1901 census records. I refer you to bill C-312 which would allow release of census records 92 years after collection. On 5 November 1999, then Industry Minister, and Minister Responsible for Statistics Canada, John Manley, appointed an Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records to report regarding the legal, privacy and archival implications of providing access to historical census records.The Panel was asked to examine the following issues: 1. What are the elements of the difference of opinions between Canadians who would seek to maintain the protection of personal information and those who would like to examine personal or community histories? 2. What options exist to provide access to historical census records? Briefly, the Expert Panel found that a guarantee of perpetual confidentiality was not intended to apply to the census. They felt that it had always been intended that census records would eventually become public and did not view any legislation deemed necessary to do so as breaking of a promise to respondents. The Report recommended allowing public access to all Census records, past, present and future, 92 years following collection. They only advised caution regarding any legislative steps that might be thought necessary to effect release of Census between 1921 and 2001. They suggested that any legislative change felt necessary be done in the National Archives Act rather than in the Statistics Act. Would you PLEASE vote FOR the Bill supporting release to the Public of Post 1901 Census Reports after 92 years, starting with the 1911 Census? Thank you. Sincerely yours, Sharon Walker London, Canada 03/19/2001 - email from MP Rodger Cuzner to Linda Squires Vaillancourt and Jane Mosher Page.

One group in particular needs to have this information: British Home Children. This is the name used to describe children who were taken from England starting in the mid 1800's until the mid 1900's. These children often lost complete contact with their families. British Home Children and their descendants need the census information to trace their family histories and medical histories. Please, vote Yes to allow open access to census records. Thank you for your attention. Linda Squires Vaillancourt Jane Mosher Page 11/27/2000 - Mr. Roger Cuzner was elected to the House of Commons 27 November 2000. |
