of course they want to sell it

The Mint, which has plants in Winnipeg and Ottawa, had a net profit of
more than $21 million in 2007 and paid more than $9 million in income
taxes. In addition to Minting almost two billion coins for Canada in
2007, it produced more than two billion coins and blanks for 12
countries around the globe including New Zealand, Ghana and Papua New
Guinea, all at its Winnipeg plant.

Lets get all income producing ventures into private hands and make
private industry richer and be able to tax the people more to provide
the same services.
