Canadian security agencies are voicing their concern about the proposed takeover of Aecon Group Inc. by a Chinese state-owned business, prompting Ottawa to order a full national security review of the deal.<\/p>\r\n<p>\"Based upon the advice we have received from national security agencies we believe that there is a potential of injury to national security,\" Karl Sasseville, a spokesman for Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains, said in an interview.<\/p>\r\n<p>He said the cabinet order is the next step in the \"rigorous\" review process but declined to specify what prompted security agencies to make this recommendation.<\/p>\r\n<p>Toronto-based Aecon said Bains informed the company that cabinet has ordered a further investigation of the deal under the Investment Canada Act, which will take more time.<\/p>\r\n<p>Concerns have been raised about the murky holdings of Chinese state-owned CCCC International Holding Ltd. (CCCI), the potential involvement of the Communist Party in decision-making and alleged corruption.<\/p>\r\n<p>CCCI's proposed $1.5-billion takeover of the Canadian construction company has come under intense domestic criticism from its rivals in the construction industry and Conservative member of Parliament Tony Clement, a former industry minister.<\/p>\r\n<p>\"About time!\" Clement tweeted about the full national security review.<\/p>\r\n<p>Governments in Europe and the United States have expressed concerns about these kind of investments from China, said Mark Warner, an international trade and investment lawyer.<\/p>\r\n<p>He said the decision may give the government some wiggle room in this politically difficult issue.<\/p>\r\n<p>\"It certainly gives them an excuse to get out of it if they want to,\" he said from Toronto.<\/p>\r\n<p>\"But I think it's probably too early to say that this is an indication that it won't be approved.\"<\/p>\r\n<p>Yuri Lynk of Canaccord Genuity said the cabinet order is not a surprise and he doubts it will result in the deal not closing.<\/p>\r\n<p>He said the review is similar to what took place in Australia with a Chinese acquisition that added two months to the process.<\/p>\r\n<p>\"Why wouldn't the government cover their behind and do that,\" Lynk said of Canada's deeper security review.<\/p>\r\n<p>Warner said the deeper security review is important to ensure public confidence and keep faith with those foreign governments.<\/p>\r\n<p>\"It is very hard for me to see how Canada could stand outside of that,\" he said from Toronto. \"If the public position isn't enough I would have thought that privately Canada has heard something from our trading partners.\"<\/p>\r\n<p>Chris Murray of AltaCorp Capital Inc. said he believes the government's primary concern may be Aecon's telecom infrastructure group, which builds significant core communications networks for several major Canadian carriers.<\/p>\r\n<p>\"While we remain positive about the closure of the transaction, we are cognizant that at this juncture, this is now a political process, which adds layers of complexity and uncertainty,\" he wrote in a report.<\/p>\r\n<p>Murray added that he believes the transaction may be a \"bargaining chip in Canada-China\" trade discussions.<\/p>\r\n<p>A spokesman for International Trade Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said the two processes are unrelated.<\/p>\r\n<p>The lengthened review will not please the Chinese government but won't sour a potential free trade deal between Canada and China, said Paul Evans, a professor of international relations at the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs at the University of British Columbia.<\/p>\r\n<p>He said the fact that the full security review is coming later in the decision making process indicates there was a lot of internal debate in Ottawa about whether it is necessary.<\/p>\r\n<p>Evans called this case a \"watershed moment\" about how Canada is going to deal with Chinese investment in a variety of sectors.<\/p>\r\n<p>\"We're now going to have to be getting into some new terrain in our judgments about what constitutes a national security risk,\" he said from Vancouver.<\/p>\r\n<p>The government's approval is the last major hurdle that Aecon must clear to close the deal.<\/p>\r\n<p>It has already received approval from the Competition Bureau, Aecon shareholders and the Chinese government.<\/p>\r\n<p>Aecon fired back at its critics last week, saying on Friday that it feared the federal security review would be tainted by false or misleading claims.<\/p>\r\n<p>On Monday, Aecon said CCCI has agreed to extend the deadline for closing the deal to March 30 \u2014 five weeks later than the previous deadline of Feb. 23.<\/p>\r\n<p>The transaction is expected to close before July 13.<\/p>\r\n<p>Follow @RossMarowits on Twitter.<\/p>\r\n<p>Companies in this story: (TSX:ARE)<\/p>\r\n<p>Note to readers: This is a corrected story.

Four Canadian riders are going through to the snowboard slopestyle final.\r\n\r\nQuebec\u2019s Sebastien Toutant started things off in heat number one of qualifying, where riders get two runs down the course with their higher score counting in the standings. In his first run he opened with a front side 1080 then closed his run with a backside 1080. The seven time X Games medalist scored 78.01 and finished third in his heat. Toutant looks poised to improve on finishing ninth in this discipline at the Sochi games in 2014.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/SebToots\/status\/962294134743752704\r\n\r\nRegina\u2019s Mark McMorris nailed both of his runs in heat two. The 16 time X Games medalist scored 83.70 then 86.83 to finish with the second-best score overall. McMorris won bronze in slopestyle in 2014 despite having a broken rib.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/CBCOlympics\/status\/962314080349437954\r\n\r\nThe best score of the day went to Quebec\u2019s Max Parrot, who nailed both of his runs but was especially good his second time on the course. Parrot stuck a smooth landing off the triple sister ramps and finished with a triple flip. That was good enough for 87.36, the highest score of the day. After he finished fifth in Sochi,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/olympics\/max-parrot-leads-canada-dominates-mens-slopestyle-qualifying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Parrot is poised<\/a>\u00a0for a run to the podium in South Korea.\r\n\r\nNorth Bay\u2019s Tyler Nicholson fell on his first run and had to kill his second run, which he did to the tune of a 79.21. With a run including a backside 1260 and a front 1080, Nicholson finished fifth in heat two and snuck into the final.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/CBCOlympics\/status\/962194225184960514\r\n\r\nConditions on the course were windy and icy which made for very technical runs. In Sochi, every run came to the last chance for McMorris so tt was good to see him nail the first run and take some pressure off himself.\r\n\r\nWatching slopestyle is tough for the uninitiated like me as it is hard to discern the difference in degree of difficulty from one rider to the other. The outlier is McMorris who gets such big air and so much rotation that his runs are simply breathtaking. Even to the untrained eye there is a discernible difference when he lands a jump. As good as Parrot was, Canada\u2019s best shot at gold might be McMorris.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/CBCOlympics\/status\/962279264367214593\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/CBCOlympics\/status\/962198361108393984\r\n\r\nThe Canadians will have a good chance to double or even sweep the podium because of their strong qualifying. Not only are one-third of the riders in the final Canadians, but McMorris and Parrot will be the last two riders to drop. Starting towards the end is advantageous because they\u2019ll know what scores they have to beat and they will be able to gauge the speed of the mountain based on how others are running. With disappointing performances by the United States and Great Britain, it\u2019s advantage Canada on the slopes.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/CBCOlympics\/status\/962203906062217216\r\n<h3><\/h3>\r\n<h3>Proud to be Canadian<\/h3>\r\nOur snowboarders weren\u2019t just killing the performances on the slopes, they were impressing with their fashion too.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/RachelAxon\/status\/962176077501145088\r\n\r\nTheir team jackets were the talk of Twitter as they were designed to look like sweaters. Some confused on lookers didn\u2019t even realize that they were wearing jackets. In typical Canadian fashion the snowboarders are taking pride in their appearance as well as their performance.

            <p>MONTREAL &#8211; Canada&#8217;s two largest airlines have cancelled scores of flights, affecting thousands of passengers, due to the massive hurricane that has flooded parts of Texas.</p>
<p>Calgary-based WestJet (TSX:WJA) says 25 flights between Calgary and Houston have been cancelled since Friday, impacting travel plans for 1,400 passengers.</p>
<p>It says aircraft are positioned to resume service when the situation on the ground has improved.</p>
<p>Houston&#8217;s George Bush Intercontinental Airport says on its website that it should reopen for commercial traffic on Thursday at noon local time.</p>
<p>WestJet says it is tentatively planning to operate one flight that day and one on Friday. Extra flight segments will be added over the weekend to help transport passengers.</p>
<p>Air Canada has cancelled several flights between Houston and airports in Montreal and Toronto. It wouldn&#8217;t provide details about the number of passengers affected.</p>
<p>The Montreal-based carrier (TSX:AC) says in a website advisory that customers who purchased tickets directly with the airline for flights between Saturday and Sept. 5 to Houston, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and San Antonio International Airport can change their flights free of charge until Sept. 20.</p>
<p>Passengers who purchased tickets through Aeroplan or Air Canada Vacations should contact them directly.</p>
<p>Hurricane Harvey has dumped a record 49.32 inches of rain on Texas.</p>
<p>America&#8217;s fourth-largest city has been paralyzed by the storm that arrived as a Category 4 hurricane. Forecasters expect it will head back inland east of Houston sometime Wednesday then head north and lose its strength.</p>
