TORONTO – Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Transat meeting
Transat A.T. Inc. will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday. Media magnate Pierre Karl Péladeau is trying to overhaul the board at the company and seize effective control, however Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) have both recommended that shareholders vote against the Quebecor CEO’s proposal to install himself and two associates on a slimmed-down board.
Algoma Steel earnings
Algoma Steel Group Inc. will report its fourth-quarter and full-year results after markets close on Wednesday. The federal and Ontario governments have provided Algoma with $500 million in financing to help support the company deal with U.S. President Donald Trump’s steel tariffs.
Empire results
Empire Co. Ltd. will report its third-quarter results on Thursday before markets open. The results from the parent company of Sobeys follow results from rivals Loblaw Cos. Ltd. and Metro Inc. which have both been growing their discount banners in a bid to attract shoppers.
Trade
Statistics Canada will release its reading for international merchandise trade for January on Thursday. Canada’s merchandise trade deficit with the world was $1.3 billion in December as exports increased 2.6 per cent and imports rose 0.6 per cent.
Jobs report
Statistics Canada will release its labour force survey for February on Friday. The Canadian economy lost 25,000 jobs in January while the unemployment rate fell by 0.3 percentage points to 6.5 per cent, as fewer people searched for work.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 8, 2026.
