Let me just say this to my hon. colleague that I do not know the periodical chart by heart; perhaps a chocolate coin wrapped in gold foil would be better. Seriously, our point is that the $2 coin your are proposing makes no sense. The people of Canada know it. Content-whether nickel, plutonium or what not-is not the issue, but rather the basis or rationale for this bill. Tell me which clause deals with coin alloys in the bill before us, then I will take your question seriously.
