2008 Chinese Canadian National Council Election Questionnaire
全加华人协进会（平权会）2008年大选问卷调查
1. Inclusive Redress. The Canadian Government has provided direct redress to about 800 living head tax payers and surviving spouses. However, about 3000 Chinese head tax families are excluded from the direct redress announced in the June 22, 2006 Parliamentary Apology because the head tax payer and spouse in these families have both passed away. CCNC and head tax families take the position that all head tax families directly experienced the racist legislation and therefore redress is incomplete. We urge the Government of Canada to commit to good faith negotiations in the spirit of “one head tax certificate, one claim.” What is your Party’s position on inclusive redress? Does your Party support direct redress for all head tax families?
1. 彻底 平反人头税问题。加拿大政府为约800名在世的人头税苦主和未亡配偶提供了直接平反。然而还有约3000个中国人头税苦主家庭被排除在2006年6月22日议会道歉宣布的直接平反之 外，原因是这些家庭的人头税苦主及其配偶都已过世了。 平权会和人头税家属们的立场是所有的人头税苦主家庭都直接经历了种族主义的立法，因此目前的平反是不完全的。我们敦促加拿大政府本着 “一张税金 纸一个说法” 的精神承诺进行有诚意的谈判. 您的政党在彻底平反人头税问题上的的立场是什么？贵党支持直接平反所有人头税苦主家庭吗？
