Ontario keeps 25 percent stake in Suncor amid dividend dispute
Ontario confirms a $650 million investment by buying 25 percent of Suncor Inc. The deal lowers the borrowing rate to 14.3 percent for a 10 year note, but the province will not receive the first dividend, attracting opposition criticism while the U S parent company gets $78 million. Crown official Malcolm Rowan defended the deal as advantageous despite no immediate dividend for Ontario.
