May 14, 1946 (20th Parliament, 2nd Session)

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.
