Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. — Alimentation Couche-Tard isn't waving the white flag despite the French government's objection to its efforts to acquire grocery giant Carrefour. Company founder Alain Bouchard is in France and is getting help from the Quebec government to allay political fears, Economy and Innovation Minister Pierre Fitzgibbon said Friday. France's finance minister, Bruno Le Maire, said Friday that he's opposed to the potential $25-billion transaction, citing the country's food security. Fitzgibbon said there appears to be an "agreement in principle" with senior management at Carrefour and some of its largest shareholders, but the matter is now "political." Dollarama Inc. (TSX:DOL). Down 56 cents or 1.1 per cent to $51.37. Quebec's workplace safety board has issued fines to nine Dollarama locations in the province for failing to respect sanitary guidelines. The Commission des normes, de l'equite, de la sante et de la securite du travail visited 68 Dollarama locations since March 2020 and issued 11 fines to the nine locations, the agency said Thursday. The CNESST has issued 124 "correction notices" to Dollarama facilities since last March. The agency's announcement comes after Dollarama workers held protests last year decrying a lack of sanitary measures at the company's facilities. Trevali Mining Corp. (TSX:TV). Down two cents or 7.8 per cent to 23.5 cents. Trevali Mining Corp. says it plans to reopen its Caribou Mine near Bathurst, N.B., after idling it 10 months ago amid poor zinc prices, but will operate it with a workforce of about 250, down from about 400 employees and contractors before it was closed. The Vancouver-based miner says it expects to return to mining in early February, with first payable zinc production expected by the end of March. Chief financial officer Brendan Creaney says zinc prices have rebounded from about 82 cents US per pound when mine production stopped to the current level between US$1.20 and US$1.30 and Trevali has contracted about 80 per cent of Caribou's volumes for two years to remove price risk.

Quebec workplace safety board fines Dollarama stores for inadequate sanitary measures
MONTREAL — Quebec's workplace safety board has issued fines to nine Dollarama locations in the province for failing to respect sanitary guidelines.The Commission des normes, de l'equite, de la sante et de la securite du travail visited 68 Dollarama locations since March 2020 and issued 11 fines to the nine locations, the agency said Thursday."The government wants to send a clear message: Health guidelines must be respected in every workplace to contain the pandemic," Quebec labour minister Jean Boulet said in a news release.In its statement, the CNESST did not specify the nature of the violations by Dollarama.The CNESST has issued 124 "correction notices" to Dollarama facilities since last March.The agency's announcement comes after Dollarama workers held protests last year decrying a lack of sanitary measures at the company's facilities.Dollarama workers described a lack of personal protective equipment and inadequate physical distancing at the company's warehouses and complained of improper barriers between staff and customers at retail stores.Dollarama gave its workers wage increases after the initial COVID-19 lockdowns in March, but ended the program in August after a six-week extension. The company also gave all of its workers a one-time bonus in December as it reported higher third-quarter profit and raised its dividend.The nine Dollarama locations that were fined are in the regions of Gaspesie, Valleyfield, Saint-Jean-sur-le-Richelieu, Saguenay, Quebec City and Yamaska, the CNESST said.Dollarama said it could not comment on the nature of the notices, adding that it has not received all of them and the ones it has received do not "clearly indicate what the infractions are.""We are both surprised and disappointed to have been targeted in such a manner, especially since we are in regular communication with the CNESST and that in the last several weeks neither their concerns or nor these notices were brought to our attention," said Lyla Radmanovich, a Dollarama spokeswoman.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 15, 2021.Companies in this story: (TSX:DOL)Jon Victor, The Canadian Press
