TORONTO — Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Couche-Tard results
Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. is set to report financial results for its first quarter of the fiscal year on Tuesday after markets close. The Quebec-based convenience store operator announced in July that it was ending a yearlong effort to buy Seven & i Holdings Co. Ltd., the parent company of 7-Eleven, saying there had been no sincere or constructive engagement from the Japan-based company over a potential deal.
Real estate figures
Real estate boards in Canada's major cities are set to report their latest monthly data on home sales, listings and pricing. The August figures are expected Tuesday for the Calgary market, followed by Vancouver on Wednesday and the Greater Toronto Area on Thursday.
Scotiabank Financials Summit
The Scotiabank Financials Summit will be held Wednesday, including a question-and-answer session with Scotiabank president and CEO Scott Thomson. The 26th annual conference will feature executives from leading financial services companies discussing their corporate strategies and current trends.
Jobs figures
Statistics Canada will release its labour force survey data for August on Friday. The agency reported 41,000 job losses in July while the unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.9 per cent.
Air Canada vote
Flight attendants at Air Canada will wrap up voting on a new contract Saturday at 3 p.m. ET. The tentative deal, which ended a strike at the airline, raises wages for workers and establishes a pay structure for time worked when aircraft are on the ground. If the deal is not ratified, the union said most terms would still form part of a new collective agreement with Air Canada, while those surrounding wages would then proceed to arbitration.
