Mr. Speaker, I said that we are debating Bill C-41, an act to amend the Royal Canadian Mint Act and the Currency Act. I am not talking about other corporations. I am talking about the Royal Canadian Mint which is a crown corporation.
That corporation itself does not get money from the government. The mint has borrowing authority from the government to go outside and borrow the money it needs. I do not know where the hon. member from the Reform Party is coming from when he says it is the taxpayers' money. It is not taxpayers' money. It is borrowing money from a bank. It is the bank that owns the Royal Canadian Mint until the loan is paid. What is wrong with that? It is a business deal.
