Abstract

With 2011 now closed, we can reflect on a turbulent 12 months characterized by international political gridlock, sovereign debt concerns, tepid growth and economic uncertainty. Canada's sound financial sector and relative fiscal restraint have helped it weather an otherwise volatile period. As Canada's solid economic performance attracts international attention and Canadian companies look beyond the border for investment opportunities, there is no better time to discuss the M&A trends we see unfolding in 2012.
