Corus results

Corus Entertainment Inc. will release its first-quarter results on Wednesday morning and hold a conference call with financial analysts and investors.

Telecom complaints report

The Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services is set to release its annual report on Wednesday. The industry watchdog’s report tallies the complaints by customers filed against Canada’s telecommunications companies.

Housing data

Data on the Canadian housing market is expected this week. The Canadian Real Estate Association is expected to release its monthly statistics for December on Thursday as well as its updated forecast. The report will be followed by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.’s  latest reading on housing starts on Friday.
