TORONTO – Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
U.S. trade
It’s a month to go to a July deadline for Canada, the United States and Mexico to make a decision on the future of the trade agreement between the countries. U.S Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has suggested the Trump administration is unlikely to rubber-stamp a renewal and the three countries are preparing for lengthy trade talks.
AI strategy
Prime Minister Mark Carney has said his government will release its national AI strategy this week. The long-awaited guidance is expected to set the tone for Canada’s AI adoption and signal how staunch the country wants to be about working with global technology companies.
Lululemon results
Lululemon Athletica Inc. will report its first-quarter results and hold a conference call with financial analysts after the close of markets on Thursday. The company recently reached a deal with founder Chip Wilson that will see two of his nominees join its board of directors.
Saputo results
Saputo is expected to report its fourth-quarter and full-year results on Thursday after the close of markets followed by a conference call on Friday morning. The Quebec-based company announced a deal earlier this year to sell an 80 per cent stake in its dairy division in Argentina to Gloria Foods, the dairy and food holding company of Grupo Gloria.
Jobs report
Statistics Canada will release its latest jobs report on Friday when it publishes is labour force survey for May. The Canadian economy lost 18,000 jobs in April as the unemployment rate increased by 0.2 percentage points to 6.9 per cent as more people searched for work.
