Mr. Speaker, in the last hour I feel like I have sat through the good, the bad and the ugly. The good is over there and the bad and the ugly are over here.
I do not understand if the corporation is being defended so severely and is being put out of business why—and perhaps the member can answer this—it can only produce about 20% of what the mint needs. In actual fact the mint has to go outside Canada to buy plated blanks to do the job. If we are shutting them out of business, perhaps the member could explain to me why the corporation cannot supply 100% of the blanks we need at this time.
