Accounting for missing gold at the Royal Canadian Mint:
“Mint officials double-counted some gold bullion they sold, and also underestimated the shrinkage of the gold during processing.
The federal government had withheld bonuses for mint executives until the mystery was solved. It’s unclear whether those bonuses will still be paid out.
Junior Transport Minister Rob Merrifield, who’s responsible for the mint, called in the RCMP on June 9 after he learned that an audit would not “rectify the problem” of the missing gold. That’s about 10 weeks after the government first learned of the missiing gold.”
