April 29, 1954 (22nd Parliament, 1st Session)

Mr. Lesags:

Mr. Chairman, I simply wish to say a word as to the policy of the government as regards the setting up of national parks. As hon. members are aware, the first prerequisite is that the land for a park be offered by a provincial government to us free of all encumbrances, and it is only after such an offer has been made that the various factors which have to be taken into account before we can come to a decision are in fact considered.
