I recently received the illustrated cover back. I sent 2 of these to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) requesting the autographs of Canadian astronauts, Steve McLean and Chris Hadfield. Not only did the CSA return my stamped addressed return envelope, they paid the postage and provided the return envelope.

Marc Garneau is now a MNA at the House of Commons. I suggest you write to him. He is very accessible.

Sylvain, I am sure you meant MP (Member of Parliament in Ottawa), not MNA (Member of National Assembly - that is in Québec)

Great idea John. More collectors should do that while the astronauts are still accessible.

Chris Hadfield is all over the news up here in Canada these past few days - he's currently orbiting in the International Space Station, chatting with Captain Kirk, singing with the Barenaked Ladies, tweeting photos from space, etc etc.

John, Did it take 2 1/2 years to get these back in the mail or did you accummulate the autographs over a few mailings? I'm wondering if I could try to get the autographs, too.
