Companies in the news:

Bombardier Inc. (TSX:BBD.B). Industrials. Down $1.00, or 1.82 per cent, to $53.82. Bombardier Inc. said Wednesday that Ottawa would be making a mistake if it opts to go with Boeing in replacing sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½'s aging military patrol planes. The Montreal-based business jet maker joined forces this year with U.S. rival General Dynamics on a surveillance aircraft with submarine hunting technology. Both partners are calling on the federal government to launch an open procurement process to supplant the Armed Forces' 14 CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol planes, set to retire in 2030. The federal government has said it is still weighing its options for the multibillion-dollar contract, but in March said Boeing's P-8A Poseidon is the only currently available aircraft that meets the operational requirements. 

Superior Plus Corp. (TSX:SPB) Down 42 cents, or 4.19 per cent, to $9.61. Superior Plus Corp. has agreed to sell eight propane distribution hubs in northern Ontario to address the concerns of the Competition Bureau about its deal to buy Certarus Ltd. The federal competition regulator had concluded that the transaction would likely result in a substantial lessening of competition for the retail supply of portable heating fuels — propane and natural gas — for industrial customers in northern Ontario.
