(Sydney-Victoria), I am writing to assure you that we have received your correspondence and to confirm that Mr. Eyking supports the release of the 1901 Census and the subsequent future releases of the census within the appropriate timeframes.

Sent: March 8, 2001 2:57 AM To: Eyking.M@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 repondents. 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 03/08/2001 - email from MP Mark Eyking to Margaret Sessions.

I am doing the geneology research and since I cannot travel to Canada or Nova Scotia, as much as I'd like to, I need those census' in order to complete my tree. You see, I have a ggrandfather that I do not know what happened to him or when, and if I could access the newest census I could maybe find out if he was still alive at that time. I don't see how keeping the census under cover for 92 + years would benefit anyone, or, for that matter why letting people access it would HURT anyone. Most all that were in that census are passed away by now and it would help all of us geneologists if we could locate a few of our relatives via the census. Please, release the census' so that we can complete our trees and maybe find out where our relatives are or were. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
