Ottawa’s immigration target cuts, CRA’s bare trusts exemption and a GFL-linked shooting: Must-read business and investing stories

Open this photo in gallery:

Ms. Salaria came to Canada in 2021 to pursue a one-year diploma in digital marketing at York University and obtained a job at a bank, but she says cuts to the number of permanent residents in Canada means she will likely have to leave the country.Jennifer Roberts/The Globe and Mail

Getting caught up on a week that got away? Here’s your weekly digest of the Globe’s most essential business and investing stories, with insights and analysis from the pros, stock tips, portfolio strategies and more.

Federal immigration cuts mean temporary foreign residents have little chance to stay in Canada legally

Temporary residents will face tougher odds of becoming permanent residents after the federal government cut immigration rates for the next three years, Vanmala Subramaniam reports. Last week, Ottawa announced cuts to the number of projected permanent residents it plans to admit in 2025 to 395,000 from 500,000. The cuts will continue into 2026 and 2027, with 380,000 and 365,000 permanent resident spots available, respectively. There are more than three million temporary residents currently in Canada or 7.3 per cent of the total population – more than half of that number are international students on study permits and those who are already in the labour force holding postgraduate work permits. Many say they are worried that the cuts will limit their chance to secure permanent residence and stay in Canada legally.

Bank of Canada ready for another half-point rate cut if warranted, Macklem says

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said the central bank is prepared to cut interest rates by half a percentage point again if the economic conditions warrant it, Mark Rendell reports. Last week, the central bank lowered its policy rate by a half-point – bringing the benchmark rate to 3.75 per cent. The move followed three smaller quarter-point cuts, starting in June. Inflation is back around the central bank’s 2-per-cent target, but monetary policy makers are trying to get interest rates back to a more neutral level to stimulate growth and avoid a recession. “We’re taking it one meeting at a time. We’ve demonstrated we’re prepared to do a 50-basis-points cut if we think that’s appropriate. And if we think it’s appropriate to do it again, we’ll do it again,” Mr. Macklem told the Senate committee on banking, commerce and the economy on Wednesday.

Condo completions are soaring in Toronto – for now

There has been a record volume of condominium units being added to Toronto‘s housing supply – and that surge is helping to drive down rental rates. Condo unit completions in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area have jumped 132 per cent from the same period last year and 34 per cent from the previous high in 2015, according to a report from consulting firm Urbanation. The new supply is causing a rare decline in rents. The average rent for a condo leased in the third quarter fell 3.8 per cent, year over year, on a per-square-foot basis. In this week’s Decoder, Matt Lundy looks at the numbers and why the trend may not last.

GFL office hit with 10 bullets in overnight shooting, extending string of violent acts

Earlier this week, a GFL Environmental Inc. office building in Toronto was hit with a barrage of bullets in an overnight shooting. It is the latest in a string of attacks on GFL-linked property, equipment and executive homes over the past four months. Employees arrived for work on Thursday morning and found the glass front entrance shattered, with bullet holes in the front door’s metal frame as well as in the front wall, Robyn Doolittle and Tim Kiladze report. The shooting happened just weeks after the homes of two executives tied to GFL were hit by bullets in what police have described as a targeted attack. GFL, which is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, is a serial acquirer of smaller rivals and has become one of the four largest waste management companies in Canada.

How one developer landed at the centre of a fight over London, Ont.‘s core

Farhi Holdings Corp. owns most of the empty space in the London, Ont.‘s downtown, which has the highest commercial real estate vacancy rate in Canada. The brand, named after its owner, Shmuel Farhi, is one of the most visible throughout the city – largely due to the visible name printed onto “for lease” signs hung from vacant office towers. The city, beleaguered by decades of industrial decline in the region and the effects of COVID-19 work-from-home policies, has been struggling to get on with development. The company says it has big plans, but patience in the community is wearing thin, Irene Galea and Chris Hannay report.

CRA exempts bare trusts from 2024 tax reporting rules

The Canada Revenue Agency says it will not require bare trusts to adhere to updated tax-reporting rules for the 2024 tax year, Salmaan Farooqui reports. Ottawa had introduced new reporting rules around trusts in 2022 to ensure tax compliance, but exempted taxpayers from filing the paperwork for 2023 after accountants said the new rules were too wide-reaching and too complicated. The federal government has since been working on new exemptions for bare trusts and began proposing draft amendments in August. Meanwhile, taxpayers and accountants say they welcome the announcement to exempt bare trusts again as they await final amendments to a much-criticized policy.

Canadians aged 55 to 65 who own their own homes have a median household net worth of $1.2-million, according to Statistics Canada. How much do renters of the same age typically have?

a. About $1.5-million

b. About $1.2-million

c. About $600,000

d. Less than $50,000

d. Less than $50,000. Homeowners near retirement age have a net worth nearly 30 times greater on average than renters. The disparity reflects the huge run-up in home prices over the past two decades and underlines why so many people are desperate to get into the housing market.

South Bow Recommends Shareholders Reject TRC Capital’s Below-market ‘Mini-tender’ Offer

Article content

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — South Bow Corp. (TSX & NYSE: SOBO) has received an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer from TRC Capital Investment Corp. (TRC Capital) to purchase up to 3 million South Bow common shares, or approximately 1.4% of South Bow’s outstanding common shares, at a below-market price of C$31.95. South Bow does not endorse TRC Capital’s unsolicited offer, has no affiliation with TRC Capital or its offer, and does not recommend or endorse this unsolicited mini-tender offer.

Story continues below

Article content

South Bow cautions shareholders that the mini-tender offer has been made at a below-market price for the South Bow common shares. TRC Capital’s unsolicited offer price of C$31.95 per share represents a discount of 4.6% to the closing price of the South Bow common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 28, 2024, the last trading day before the mini-tender offer was commenced, and a discount of 7.4% to the closing price on Nov. 1, 2024.

Shareholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for their shares, consult with their broker or financial advisor, and exercise caution with respect to TRC Capital’s unsolicited offer. Shareholders who have already tendered their shares should consider taking actions to withdraw them, including reviewing the withdrawal procedures in TRC Capital’s offering documents.

TRC Capital has made similar unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other public companies. Mini-tender offers are designed to avoid many investor protections like disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most take-over bids and tender offers under Canadian and U.S. securities laws. The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have expressed concerns about mini-tender offers, including the possibility that investors might tender to such offers without understanding the offer price relative to the actual market price of their securities.

Article content

The SEC states that “bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.” The SEC has published investor tips about mini-tender offers, which can be found at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.

Brokers, dealers, and other market participants are encouraged to exercise caution and review the letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offers dissemination and disclosures at www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm.

Comments from the CSA on mini-tender offers can be found at http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/en/SecuritiesLaw_csa_19991210_61-301.jsp.

South Bow requests that this news release be included in any distribution of materials relating to TRC Capital’s mini-tender offer for South Bow common shares.

Enbridge’s Q3 profit more than doubles on acquisition contributions

(Reuters) -Enbridge’s third-quarter profit more than doubled from a year ago, the Canadian energy infrastructure company said on Friday, citing incremental contributions from U.S. gas acquisitions, and it raised its estimate of organic growth opportunities.

The Calgary-based company, which owns Canada’s biggest oil export network and is North America’s largest gas utility, said it has C$27 billion ($19.40 billion) of secured growth projects, up from C$24 billion previously.

New investments included the $1.1 billion Sequoia Solar project in Texas and the $700 million offshore Canyon System Pipelines project on the U.S. Gulf Coast.

“Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) has seen increased visibility of our long-term growth supported by strong energy infrastructure fundamentals and in particular rising power demand,” CEO Greg Ebel said on a conference call.

Enbridge shares were last up 0.5% at C$40.59 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The company reported a profit of C$1.29 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with C$532 million a year earlier.

Its adjusted profit of 55 Canadian cents per share missed analysts’ estimate by one Canadian cent, according to data compiled by LSEG, partly because of higher financing costs related to the U.S. gas acquisitions.

Enbridge had closed a $14 billion acquisition, including debt, of three Dominion Energy (NYSE:D) utilities — East Ohio Gas, Questar Gas and Public Service Co of North Carolina — by the third quarter.

Enbridge’s adjusted core profit from gas distribution and storage was up 92.6% at C$522 million in the quarter, helped by the acquisitions, which contributed C$217 million.

Steady oil demand also boosted the company’s earnings with its Mainline system transporting 2.96 million barrels per day in the quarter. Adjusted core profit of the pipeline network rose 3.2% to C$1.35 billion, helped by higher tolls.

“In liquids, demand for the Mainline remains strong and our volumes for 2024 are expected to exceed 3 million barrels per day,” Ebel said, adding Enbridge was advancing discussions with customers about new pipelines in western Canada from 2026 onwards.

Mainline is North America’s largest crude oil pipeline network. It transports light and heavy crude oil, natural gas liquids and refined products from Edmonton, Alberta to various markets in Canada and the U.S. Midwest.
