02/28/2005 - letter from MP Albina Guarnieri to Muriel M. Davidson. Minister of Veterans Affairs Apr. 25, 2005 Dear Mrs. Davidson:- Thank you for your letter requesting my support in releasing the 1911 census on May 8, 2005 in memory of the First World War veterans who did not return. I regret the delay in responding. Your desire to have the 1911 census report released in the Year of the Veteran is commendable. I have had the status of Bill S-18 researched and it has yet to be introduced in the House of Commons. Upon this, the regular parliamentary procedure will be followed. Therefore, I cannot commit to the time frame of the Year of the Veteran as you have requested. However, I will follow its progress with great interest. Again, thank you for writing and sharing your views on this important matter. You may rest assured that your comments have been noted. Yours sincerely, The Honourable Albina Guarnieri, P.C., From: Carol Fletcher Hello Ms. Guarnieri: As one your constituents, I am curious as to why you have not responded to my original email concerning your stand on the release of information. As I live in your riding, I feel that you should be able to answer questions posed to you as my member of parliament. The following question requires your response: As an elected Member of Parliament, serving the constituents who elected you, will you SUPPORT release of Post-1901 Canadian Census Records by voting YES to any Bill, Motion on this subject? This would mean the 1911 census would be available from National Archives in 2003, and every ten years thereafter. YOU have a personal message board -- your messages are located at: http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score3.htm#ONT As one of your constituents, I feel that you should be able to respond to me in a timely fashion. The last email I sent to you was over 2 weeks ago. I would say that is enough time to form a response. I look forward to hearing from you shortly. Thank you. Carol Fletcher 09/20/2002 - email to MP Albina Guarnieri from Frank McKerry.
To: Albina Guarnieri, MP Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 3:48 PM Subject: Post 1901 Census Mr. Albina Guarnieri, M.P. Mississauga East: It is noted on the Post 1901 Census Site that you have not replied to their request to support the Vote in the House on the release of the Post 1901 Census from Statistics Canada to Archives Canada and make them available to the public. The request was for a Yes, No or Undecided at this time. You have failed to reply to any of the many request for your answer. The Committee running this campaign would like to have an answer from you, so that they can gauge their strength on this Bill that will be once again coming back to the floor of the House. Have you taken the opportunity to ask any of your constituents about this Bill ? Many of them are waiting after many years of stand-offs, put-offs, and rangling with the Director of Statistics Canada, who has tried every way he can to block the release of these Census. Would you please take a minute and answer if you are in favour of this Bill and will support it, or will vote against it, when it comes to the floor of the House ? Many of your constituents that sent you to the House to represent them are awaiting the release of these Census to complete their family tree and ancestry, please don't let them down. Not being one of your constituents, but researching family in your area, the vote you make will have an effect on me and many others in Canada and around the world, so please vote YES. Respectfully M. Frank McKerry C.D. Vernon, B.C. 07/20/2001 - email to MP Albina Guarnieri from Muriel M. Davidson.
To: Albina Guarnieri, MP Sent: Friday, July 20, 2001 9:09 PM Subject: April 1999 was a LONG Time Ago!!!!! To Albina Guarnieri, MP:- Periodically I check the personal message board of the elected Members of Parliament, especially the Ontario ones. This evening I was surprised to learn you have been unable to answer the first letter sent to you in April, 1999 -- surely someone could have helped you write it during this time period. YOU have a personal message board -- yours messages are ?missing? http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score3.htm#ONT Just click on your name and read the non-existent mail. QUESTION: As an elected Member of Parliament, serving the constituents who elected you, will you SUPPORT release of Post-1901 Canadian Census Records by voting YES to any Bill, Motion on this subject? This would mean the 1911 census would be available from National Archives in 2003, and every ten years thereafter. We do suggest you discuss this subject with constituents, be dictated to by them, rather than others, as many seem to be doing. Census records are needed for family searches, one large one the 100,000 British Home Children brought here as "slave labourers" over a period of time. We also need the census for genetically inherited diseases -- just this evening, I learned of another family member with Alzheimer's -- my husband has vascular dementia. Looking forward to a very POSITIVE reply from you -- it may be by e-mail, will be posted immediately by Gordon Watts on your board. Muriel M. Davidson Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee 06/19/2001 - email to MP Albina Guarnieri from Muriel M. Davidson.
To: Albina Guarnieri, MP Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 5:55 PM Subject: YOU have never even replied to Global Gazette!! To Albina Guarnieri, MP Your personal message board is there for many to read -- does not take much time -- have YOU ever asked YOUR constituents if they desired census records released for family research? http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score3.htm#ONT QUESTION:- Will you SUPPORT any bills and motions, as an elected member of Parliament representing your constituents, that will see the Post-1901 census records released automatically to National Archives? The Prairie Provinces have never had a Canadian census, the 1911 should be released in 2003, etc. This is the FIFTH time I have written -- I only need a short email that will not take up too much of your long vacation. Your answer will then be posted. Prior to opening of Parliament on Sept. 19th, we will be publishing names of all elected Members of Parliament who have not answered. This is a serious and involved issue - one that should not be taken lightly. As a volunteer on this committee, my riding is CANADA. Muriel M. Davidson Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee 04/30/99- e-mail from The Global Gazette to MP
A web site has been posted at http://globalgenealogy.com/census to record MP's responses, so that those who are interested, will know the position that their elected representative has (or has not expressed) on the issue. Also included on the web site, is a correspondence log for each Member of Parliament, which will contain responses to this e-mail plus any other correspondence from the MP. The Question: "Would you, as an elected Member of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Canada, vote FOR or AGAINST a Bill supporting release to the Public, of Post 1901 Census Records, 92 years after they were recorded. ( 1911 census information available in 2003, 1921 in 2013 etc)" If you would like to expand on your position, your entire response will be posted to your individual correspondence log. The Post 1901 Census web site is sponsored by Global Genealogy & History Bookstore. A vast number of e-mails and calls from subscribers and web site visitors, clearly demonstrates that this issue is extremely important to them. Many readers have expressed that their current MP's position on this issue will weigh heavily in their decision process during the next election. |
