May I suggest that I am only using this as an illustration, pointing out that $376,000 is being spent in a city half the size of Hamilton. If I am not in order, all right, but if I am, I should like to continue for just a few moments.

I am quite sympathetic with the hon. member for Hamilton West in what he is advocating. I am well aware of the claims of Hamilton with reference to the rifle range, and I intend as soon as possible to comply with his desire in that regard.

the amendment?

Mr. MACKENZIE (Vancouver):
The idea is that the amount for architects' fees is not all required at Calgary; it is required for general purposes all over Canada. A specific amount of a little over five thousand dollars is required in respect of Calgary, but this item includes additional amounts and is for general purposes in connection with the department's special supplementary estimates.
