02/02/2001 - letter from MP Marlene Jennings to Muriel M. Davidson. Ottawa, February 2, 2001 Ms. Muriel M. Davidson, member Canada Census Committee 25 Crestview Avenue Brampton, Ontario L6W 2R8 Dear Ms. Davidson: I acknowledge receipt of your email of January 29, 2001, concerning amendments to the laws relevant to the release of census information. You mention that both Senator Milne and MP Murray Calder will re-introduce their respective private bills, stipulating that each census after 1901 would automatically become public, at specific times. There is no question I will carefully review the content of these 2 bills when they have been tabled. I thank you for writing. My views on this issue are indeed favourable to allowing the publication of census information, notwithstanding some concerns I still have regarding particularly sensitive materials. Sincerely, Marlene Jennings, MP Notre-Dame-de-Grace--Lachine 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. |
