全加华人协进会（平权会）今天公布了他们2008年大选的问卷调查。 “问卷的问题除了有彻底平反人头税及移民政策等一些华人社区很关注的问题外，还有关于医疗卫生，环境和经济等的问题” 平权会总干事Victor Wong今天说。 “我们就一系列的主题（见下文）提出了10个问题来请联邦的5个主要党派作出回应，并可为人们在其候选人敲门征求他们的选票时提问作参考”

平权会将在下周公布汇编后的各主要党派的回应。对于生活在选区内的约有130万人以上的华人社区，联邦各主要党派均需要关注华人社区的问题。

与此同时，平权会敦促所有华人社区成员积极参与这一重要的选举。 “这次有不少于21名有中国血统的候选人参与竞争. 加拿大华人已参与到了这次联邦竞选运动的所有层面” Victor Wong补充说。 “平权会促请所有合格的选民登记注册，熟悉华人社区的问题，向其所在地的候选人提问，并在即将举行的选举中投票。”

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？
