Presentation of Petitions
Hon. Lorna Milne: Honourable senators, I have the honour to present two petitions, totalling 244 signatures, from the Genealogical Association of Nova Scotia and the Lambton County Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. They are petitioning the following:
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 limit now in force.
