Presentation of Petition
Hon. Lorna Milne: Honourable senators, I have the honour to present a petition with 100 signatures from the Ontario Genealogical Society petitioning the following, in part:
...your petitioners call upon Parliament to enact legislation to preserve the post-1901 Census Records, remove them to the National Archives and make these, as well as future census records, available to the public after 92 years as is presently consistent with the many provisions of the privacy legislation and time limits now in force.
