Shell Canada officials say they will keep the Gulf Canada refinery in Montreal open despite potential government aid plans. The company previously warned it might close if Ottawa or Quebec assisted Gulf, but an 80 million investment was announced and Elan Seager rejected further threats. Gulf Canada plans to halt crude processing by Dec 31 and close by Feb 28, risking 450 jobs. Ultramar has offered 120 million for Gulf assets but would shutter the refinery if awarded.
