Witnesses tell House of Commons industry committee what Innovation Minister should consider as he makes a call on the blockbuster takeover

But Jennifer Quaid, a civil law professor and vice-dean of research at the University of Ottawa, said it would not be that simple for the minister to block the deal, which has now been cleared in the courts after a lengthy legal process during which the Competition Tribunal concluded the transactions would be good for competition.
