PRIVILEGE

REFERENCE TO PRESS REPORT, OTTAWA "JOURNAL",

Mr. ALISTAIR STEWART (Winnipeg North):

Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of privilege in connection with a story which appeared in yesterday's Ottawa Evening Journal about the fate of certain questions asked by myself. A direct quotation was included in the story. It has been my experience that one who makes a statement is as the mother; the reporter is very often in the place of the father, and the child always takes after the father. The words attributed to me in the story are:

"I'm having a lot of questions turned down these days," he complained, "and I am getting mad about it."

The inference unfortunately is that we are not getting the service we expect from the officials of the house. I should like to dispel that inference immediately. I have nothing but praise for the cooperation and assistance which we do get. Whatever slighting reference there is in the story applies entirely to the government.

Hon. ERNEST BERTRAND (Postmaster General):

Mr. Speaker, last month the hon. member for Saskatoon City (Mr. Knight) raised the question of the dispatch of gift parcels from Canada to Hungary. At that time I told him that the matter was before this department and that this service would be placed in operation as soon as the necessary facilities became available. I am now glad to say that it has been found possible to restore the parcel post service to Hungary for parcels weighing up to eleven pounds and the Canadian postal service has been informed accordingly.
