Unfortunately, at this time, there are not that many official documents available in Canada pertaining to the Year 2000 millennium computer problem. Rather than having to dig through pages upon pages of public relations statements and almost buried links to the most important facts available at government sites, I've listed a few here going directly to the written document.You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read most of them.It's free and you must have the Reader already installed to begin. Feel free to discuss these documents in the Forum.
