(TSX:MFC). Financials. Down six cents, or 0.25 per cent, to $24.18 on 5.9 million shares. Companies in the news:CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX:TRST). Up two cents to $1.72. The Alberta government's cannabis wholesaler and online retailer is returning products from CannTrust Holdings Inc. after Health Canada suspended the company's licences to produce and sell pot. The AGLC would not confirm the amount or value of the on-hold product to be returned to the Vaughan, Ont.-based company, citing contract confidentiality. The move comes one day after CannTrust disclosed that it received a notice from Health Canada indicating its authority to produce and sell cannabis had been suspended. The Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. also said Wednesday it is no longer selling CannTrust products and it plans to return the product it is holding at its distribution centre.Restaurant Brands International Inc. (TSX:QSR). Down 61 cents to $97.27. Tim Hortons will stop offering its Beyond Meat alternative protein products at thousands of Canadian locations, just three months after introducing them. Parent company Restaurant Brands International Inc. says it is pulling vegetable-based Beyond Burgers nationally and breakfast sandwiches from all locations except in B.C. and Ontario, where the "positive reaction" means customers can continue to enjoy them. The company announced in May it would test its three Beyond Meat breakfast sandwiches at some stores.Air Canada (TSX:AC). Down 61 cents to $43.40. A new report finds that Air Canada lags behind other global airlines in revenue from passenger fees, but is poised to catch up after its recent purchase of the Aeroplan rewards program. The report from airline consulting firm IdeaWorksCompany says the country's biggest airline took in US$1.45 billion in so-called ancillary revenue last year, or about US$28.54 per passenger. The per-passenger figure didn't break the top 10, with U.S. competitors United Airlines Inc. and American Airlines Inc. and Australia's Qantas Airways Ltd. reaping between US$35 and US$42 per traveller in ancillary income.Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (TSX:ATD.B). Up 10 cents to $81.07. Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. wants to be one of the "key players" in the North American cannabis market by using its position in Canada, where recreational pot use is legal, to achieve this goal. But the expertise to be developed by the operator of convenience stores and gas stations will have to be done outside of Quebec because of provincial rules governing the sale of marijuana, company founder and executive chairman Alain Bouchard said following its annual meeting. Unable to penetrate the Quebec market, it has invested in Alberta retailer Fire & Flower. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 18, 2019.The Canadian Press

Saudi Arabia Said to Tap Kingdom’s Rich to Anchor Aramco IPO
(Bloomberg) -- Saudi Arabia held discussions with some of the kingdom’s wealthiest families about becoming anchor investors in Aramco’s mammoth stake sale, according to five people with knowledge of the talks.Saudi officials made initial contact with some top business families on behalf of the oil giant, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Aramco may hold more formal meetings as early as next week after banks have been hired for the sale, three of the people said.The kingdom is aiming to raise at least 1% to 2% of Aramco from these investors, according to one of the people. The amount each family invests will likely hinge on the company’s valuation, another person said.The move underscores Saudi Arabia’s desire to ensure there’s enough demand for what could be the biggest initial public offering. The kingdom’s economy is struggling to shake off the impact of lower oil prices and a 2017 purge that ensnared dozens of billionaires and officials. The crackdown undermined business confidence and prompted many billionaires to consider shifting some of their fortune abroad.If local investors participate in the IPO at a “high valuation, this could improve the prospects for an international version, by setting the bar at a different level,” said Richard Segal, a senior emerging-markets analyst at Manulife Asset Management in London. ”The government could encourage this participation through quid pro quos.”A spokesman for Aramco wasn’t immediately able to comment.Some of the families that have been approached had relatives briefly held in the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Riyadh as part of the purge, which the government called an anti-corruption crackdown, one of the people said. They aren’t, however, being forced to invest because of that, the person said.Anchor investors usually commit to buying shares in a company before an IPO is opened up to other investors to control pricing and ensure that the sale is successful.Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the architect of the IPO plan, has said he expects Aramco to be valued at over $2 trillion, but analysts see $1.5 trillion as more realistic. The company aims to select underwriters this week and is considering selling shares on the Saudi stock exchange this year or early next, with a potential international listing at a later date, Bloomberg News has reported.“There is a lot of domestic liquidity but not enough to move the needle that much. As a result, the signalling impact would be more important,” Segal said, adding that a $2 trillion valuation to international markets still sounds high.Selling a stake in Aramco is a key part of the prince’s blueprint to wean Saudi Arabia off its reliance on oil, with the proceeds expected to be invested back into the economy. Plans for the IPO were put on hold last year as Aramco focused on the $69 billion acquisition of a majority stake in Saudi Basic Industries Corp.As preparations for the IPO gather pace, the kingdom named the head of its sovereign wealth fund as Aramco chairman, replacing Khalid Al-Falih, who was also later removed as energy minister.(Adds analyst comments in the fifth and ninth paragraphs.)\--With assistance from Alaa Shahine and Matthew Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Archana Narayanan in Dubai at anarayanan16@bloomberg.net;Dinesh Nair in London at dnair5@bloomberg.net;Nayla Razzouk in Dubai at nrazzouk2@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Stefania Bianchi at sbianchi10@bloomberg.net, Alaa ShahineFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
