Gold ownership not Ottawa’s issue: Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited

The federal government should not determine the ownership of gold companies, the head of Agnico-Eagle Mines says.

"We're contributing to the economies of Finland, we're contributing to the economies of Mexico. Those governments do not put up roadblocks because we're Canadian. So, the market should ultimately decide who should own this and the government should stay out of it," he says
