Canada still welcomes foreign investment despite Petronas-Finmin Oct 21st 2012, 17:05 CALGARY, Alberta | Sun Oct 21, 2012 1:05pm EDT CALGARY, Alberta Oct 21 (Reuters) - Canada still welcomes foreign direct investment despite the federal government's refusal late last week to approve the C$5.17 billion ($5.17 billion) acquisition of Progress Energy Resources Corp by Malaysian state oil company Petronas [PETR.UL}, the country's finance minister said on Sunday. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told CTV's "Question Period" program proposed acquisitions needed to be correct and that Canada's industry minister can impose conditions on any transactions. However, he said in the transcript of the interview that Industry Minister Christian Paradis and the companies were continuing discussions on satisfying the government's concerns with the deal. | |
