Consultant paid
$3.2 million

OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government has paid an
American gold expert more ~_ $3.2 million for advice on
selling the Maple Leaf gold coin.

how of Sorcerer contract obtained by the Ottawa
Citizen shows the Royal Canadian Mint paid Morrie Sandler
of Stamford, Conn., a consulting fee of $250,000 U.S. a year,
$50,000 U.S. in expenses and an open-ended incentive bonus
based on sales.

¢ Sandler worked part-time for two years on the project.

With the bonuses, the Mint confirmed this week that
Sandler earned $480,480 Canadian in 1984 and $2.73 million
Canadian in 1985.

‘The Maple Leafs gold coin is an investment coin, minted
in Canada and bought and around the world in $5, $10 and
$50 denominations. Half the gold mined in Canada ends up in
Maple Leafs.

One Canadian bullion expert said sales of the Maple
Leaf coin took off in 1985 because its major competitor, the
South African Krugerrand, lost its American market
because of the actions of opponents of South Africa's
apartheid policy.

Bullion experts in Toronto and New York were
surprised by the fees paid to Sandler.

Toronto investment counsellor Peter Cavelti, president
of Cavelti Capital Management Co., and an authority of gold
bullion, said he found the figures extremely high for any
consulting contract.

“How many people in the stock and bullion business
have a $250,000 contract plus $50,000 expenses plus a
guaranteed incentive?

“I know of very few.”

VANCOUVER (CP) — If Charles Baldwin objects to
the way the B.C. Government Employees Union spends
his dues, he should join the union and voice his concerns,
a lawyer suggested Tuesday.

John Baigent, appearing in the B.C. Supreme Court
for the union, said Baldwin cannot look to the Charter of
Rights and Freedoms to correct what he perceives as an
infringement of his rights.

Baldwin's lawyer, Peter Gall, has asked the court to
declare the BCGEU cannot use money from membership
dues without first getting permission of each
member. He also wants the to state the union's use
of membership dues for purposes other than collective
bargaining is i i with the ituti

prevent governments infringing on citizens’ rights, said
the corrective clauses don't apply to private entities, such
as unions.

But Gall argued the government is involved in the
BCGEU because provincial legislation requires all
government employees to be members of the union.

“In effect, we have government legislation compell-
ing (Baldwin) to support a political movement he doesn't
believe in,” Gall said. “The union derives its power to
make him pay his dues from the government.”

Baldwin, 45, a corrections officer at the Burnaby
Community Correctional Centre, opted out of union
membership when the BCGEU was certified in 1974, but

Mr. Justice Albert Mackoff reserved judgment on a
preliminary motion in which Baigent asked the court to
hold that Baldwin's grievance isn't a Charter matter.

Baigent, pointing out the Charter is intended to

is req’ under to pay union dues.

He objects to a portion (about $1.20 a month) of his
$377 annual dues being used by the ufion to help finance
organizations such as Solidarity, the movement opposed
to certain Social Credit policies.

Skelly said Douglas first ur-
ged him to seek a seat in the

— not because he built

Cc would expect either a high base or a high
incentive, he said, not both.

A New York trader, who wished to remain anonymous,
agreed. “The numbers for 1984 are high but they're not
shocking,” he said.

“The 1985 figures are shocking.”

The terms of the contract were that Sandler received 50
cents for each ounce of Maple Leaf gold sold above 850,000
ounces and incremental increases up to $2 for every ounce
sold over 1,500,000 ounces.

In return he provided marketing strategies and plans,
introduced the Mint to major bullion trade in Europe, Hong
Kong and other Asian centres, increased the number of
distributors from eight to 19 and established the Mint as a
major player in international bullion trading.

The gold coins earned the Mint $1.3 billion Canadian in
the two years of Sandler's contract.

Today the gold Maple Leaf coin is the most successful
gold coin in the world, well ahead of its rivals, the South
African Krugerrand and the Mexican 50 peso gold coin.
