"If the biggest bank in Canada simply buys up a growing smaller player, then there's no hope of ever having more competition in Canadian banking," he told the newspaper. Last month, Canada's Competition Bureau said that RBC's takeover of HSBC Canada was unlikely to hurt competition, clearing the way for the country's largest bank to push ahead with its biggest acquisition. Still, the regulator found that the deal would "result in a loss of rivalry between Canada's largest and seventh-largest banks."

REUTERS/Chris Helgren/File PhotoOTTAWA, July 19 (Reuters) - Canada's Transport Minister Omar Alghabra on Wednesday said he was running out of patience with striking Pacific dock workers when asked if the government would pass back-to-work legislation, a politically tricky move that requires opposition support. The left-leaning New Democrat Party (NDP) has been helping Trudeau's minority government pass legislation in parliament, but on Wednesday NDP leader Jagmeet Singh ruled out support for legislation forcing workers back on the job. "Don't signal in any way that you're going to bring a back-to-work legislation because that's going to undermine the workers," Singh told reporters was his message to the government when asked about back-to-work legislation in Windsor, Ontario. It also means that the Liberal-NDP deal that is keeping the government going could be put under strain if Trudeau chooses to force an end to the strike.
