Audit flags possible massive mint gold heist in Ottawa
An independent audit of the Royal Canadian Mint found 17,514 troy ounces of gold missing from its Sussex Drive stock and suggested theft may explain the loss. The report, by Deloitte and Touche, also notes undisclosed silver missing and urges security reviews. Federal ministers vow accountability and a quarterly metals inventory. RCMP probe possible as government orders bonuses halted and insurance claimed.
