PM’S NEW TEAM FACES ROGERS’ SHAW TAKEOVER BID

Bloomberg

Pundits are calling it the $600-million cabinet shuffle — the estimate of the cost of running a federal election that changed almost nothing. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be forced to make some changes to his cabinet after two ministers were defeated; it’s tradition to freshen the roster after an election. But all of the people holding major economic posts kept their seats in Canada’s House of Commons. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will remain at the centre of the action as Trudeau’s most reliable minister, and Industry Minister François-philippe Champagne easily won his Quebec district. If he stays in that role, he’ll be responsible next year for a final decision on one of the biggest deals ever in Canada — Rogers Communications Inc.’s proposed $26-billion telecom takeover of Shaw Communications Inc.
