Companies in the news:
Air Canada. (TSX:AC). Transport. Down three cents, or 0.12 per cent, to $24.96. Air Canada delayed or cancelled nearly 2,000 flights over the Canada Day long weekend in a potential taste of more trouble ahead for passengers. Roughly half of all trips by the country's biggest airline were disrupted Saturday through Monday, according to figures from tracking service FlightAware. Air Canada pointed out that the air travel sector is now in the throes of its summer peak, with 140,000-plus customers boarding the airline's planes daily, and said the airline's top priority is to ensure everyone travels safely.
Cineplex Inc. (TSX:CGX). Media. Up 42 cents, or 4.74 per cent, to $9.29. Cineplex Inc. said a case launched by the Competition Bureau against the theatre chain over movie ticket fees should be dismissed because it's based on a "mischaracterization." The case launched by the competition watchdog in May is based on the premise that fees applied to some Cineplex movie tickets bought online constitute price dripping, a deceptive practice where customers are drawn into a purchase without full disclosure of the final cost. However, in a response filed with the Competition Tribunal on June 30, Toronto-based Cineplex said the bureau's claims are "without merit" and should be thrown out with costs awarded to Cineplex.
Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX:RCI.B). Telecom. Up 66 cents, or 1.09 per cent, to $61.10. Rogers Communications Inc. is offering voluntary departure packages to some employees as it integrates with Shaw Communications Inc. after its $26-billion purchase of the carrier in April. In a memo to staff on Tuesday, CEO Tony Staffieri said Rogers has been looking to reduce some overlap in roles since the companies combined. The memo said eligible employees can apply to receive a voluntary package through the program. Those include "most corporate and line of business employees" up to the senior director level of the company.
