Mr. CRERAR:

I might say in reply to my hon. friend that this is a misprint in the bill. The amount is $350,000. The error probably arose in this way: there was some discussion of the advisability of making it $500,000, but it was finally decided to make it $350,000, as a beginning at any rate. When we get into committee I propose to amend that section of the bill accordingly. I think that will be quite in order.
