  • Statement of Rodney J. Bosco Navigant Consulting, Inc. On
    STATEMENT OF RODNEY J. BOSCO NAVIGANT CONSULTING, INC. ON THE “THE FUTURE OF MONEY: COIN PRODUCTION” BEFORE THE HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES SUBCOMMITTEE ON DOMESTIC MONETARY POLICY & TECHNOLOGY UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES APRIL 17, 2012 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, my name is Rodney Bosco and I am a Director in the Disputes and Investigations practice at Navigant Consulting, Inc. (“Navigant”). I am pleased to testify today concerning our coin system, its cost drivers, and an analysis we conducted recently that identified approximately $200 million in annual cost savings if the United States moved to a steel‐based composition for our vended nickel, dime, and quarter. Navigant is an international consulting firm that provides independent, objective analysis of and opinions on accounting, financial and economic issues. Our report was commissioned by Jarden Zinc Products, North America’s leading plated coin blank producer and a licensee of the Royal Canadian Mint’s multi‐ply plated steel technology. We acknowledge the significant assistance of the Royal Canadian Mint (“RCM”) and Worthington Industries in the preparation of our analysis. As the Subcommittee examines ways to make our coins less expensively, and awaits the United States Mint’s recommendations on alternative metals later this year, our work has led us to three major conclusions which I want to share with you today. (1) Adoption of a multi‐ply plated steel composition for the vended five‐cent, dime and quarter‐dollar coins will reduce the per‐unit raw material costs of these coins by 84% to 89%, based on recent prices of copper, nickel and low‐carbon steel during the United States Mint’s 2011 fiscal year.

SOurCE: Canada. DEPT. OF NATIONAL DEFenCE / LIbrarY and ARCHIVES Canada / PA-022759 THE POWER OF A WAR-TIME EMBRACE. When Britain declared war on Germany on August 4, 1914, its entire Empire was drawn into the conflict, including Canada. Across the Dominion, men flocked to recruiting stations. Within two months, Canada’s pre-war militia that included a standing army of 3,110 men had grown to 33,000. Many were recent British immigrants or native-born Canadians of British origin, but among them were also more than 1,000 French Canadians, many First Nations as well as many others from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Five hundred soldiers from the British colonies of Newfoundland and Labrador also joined the ranks, while some 2,500 women stepped forward to serve as nurses. Train stations across Canada became the stage for tearful goodbyes and lingering embraces. The First World War was a true coming of age for the young nation, and the hope, fear, courage and deep sacrifice Canadians felt 100 years ago remain as poignant and inspiring today. Designed by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross, this coin depicts a couple’s emotional farewell as the first wave of volunteers boards for camp. Time stands still for this couple as they savour one last embrace before his departure. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who answered the call of duty, and their loved ones who remained on the home front.

While drawing is often associated with pencil on paper, I drew onto a board toned with thin acrylic washes, then created layers using erasers and scalpels to remove pencil before applying more graphite. And, although portraits traditionally show one subject on a plain background, I combined multiple poses, sizes, and light sources, concentrating on directing the viewer’s gaze from one pose to the next. Furthermore, spending weeks under an active Harpy Eagle nest during the AFC Expedition was an unforgettable experience, as I had always dreamed of observing the most powerful bird of prey in its natural habitat. By portraying this threatened species, I hope to increase awareness of the key role its conservation plays in the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem. I often say that my ‘best painting’ will be my ‘next one’.

  • Commercial Rents in Key Canadian Economic Markets, Fourth Quarter 2020 Released at 8:30 A.M
    Commercial rents in key Canadian economic markets, fourth quarter 2020 Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Thursday, February 25, 2021 Commercial rents fell 0.6% in the fourth quarter, following a 0.5% (revised from +0.7%) increase in the third quarter. The decline was concentrated in the retail sector, where rents are tied to retail sales. Retail revenue fell sharply in the fall during the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, following the shutdown of non-essential businesses in many regions of the country. Commercial rents fall in the fourth quarter Nationally, commercial rents decreased by 0.6% from the third to the fourth quarter. Lower rents for retail buildings (-4.0%) more than offset higher rents for industrial buildings and warehouses (+2.2%) and office buildings (+0.5%). Retail building rents generally rise in the fourth quarter in tandem with the Christmas shopping season, as a portion of those rents is tied to retail sales. However, retail rents fell 4.0% in 2020, mostly because of large base rent concessions and discounts given by landlords during the onset of the resurgence of the pandemic; this brought rents down 4.5% from September to October. Retail rents rose 1.9% in November and edged down 0.1% in December. Office rents edged up 0.5% in the fourth quarter, following the phasing out of rent rebates and deferrals by landlords in the sector. With the resurgence of e-commerce sales in November and December, coupled with strong wholesale and manufacturing sectors, demand for inventory space continued to grow.
