Government Guaranteed - "The Government of Canada produces the Gold Maple Leaf and
guarantees its gold content and purity.
This guarantee is embodied in the symbol of the country-the maple leaf."
The Royal Canadian Mint, Incorporated in 1969 by the Royal Canadian Mint Act
(R.S.C. 1985, c. R-9); Schedule III, Part II of the FAA;
an agent of Her Majesty. The organization is subject to the Financial
Administration Act as a 'Branch Designated as Department'
but is not listed in a Schedule.

BILL C-41 - First Reading RECOMMENDATION
His Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of Commons the
appropriation of public revenue under the
circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled
``An Act to amend the Royal Canadian Mint Act
and the Currency Act'' SUMMARY
This enactment amends the Royal Canadian Mint Act to update the terminology for
<< coins>> in order to reflect the markets served
rather than the metals of which the << coins>> are composed. The amendments
simplify the process for issuing << coins>> by giving additional powers to the
Mint and to the Minister of Public Works and Government Services. The Mint is
given the capacity of a natural person and the power to incorporate subsidiaries
and to acquire and dispose of interests in other entities. Other amendments of an
administrative nature are also enacted.
Clause 13: Subsection 9(1) reads as follows:
9. (1) The Governor in Council may, by proclamation, call in coins of any date
and denomination.
Plus C
An Act respecting the marking of articles containing precious metals
http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/P-19/text.html
Equals This: Because the Gold Canadian Maple Leaf Bullion coin is Marked with the
Gold Canadian Maple Leaf, gold and purity tampering will lead to severe penalties
in accordance to the Royal Canadian Mint and Currency Act and The Canadian
Financial Administration Act. and is thus guaranteed.
Hope this helps
