Several Canadian airlines have scrubbed the phrase "ladies and gentlemen" from their in-flight announcements — or are considering the change — replacing the gendered language with non-binary terminology as part of a broader shift toward corporate inclusivity. Air Transat said in an email it has stopped using the salutation as well as its French equivalent, "Mesdames et messieurs." Air Canada says it will do likewise, amending its on-board announcements "to modernize them and remove specific references to gender." Porter Airlines jettisoned "ladies and gentlemen" in 2018. WestJet Airlines Ltd. and Sunwing Airlines Inc. still include the time-worn phrase in their in-flight announcements, but say they are mulling an edit.Loblaw Companies Ltd. (TSX:L). Down 98 cents to $71.62. Canada's privacy commissioner says Loblaw Companies Ltd. initially collected too much personal information from some customers requesting a gift card tied to an alleged bread price-fixing scandal. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada says its investigation found Loblaw failed to explain to people that sensitive information like driver's licence numbers, birthdays and digital photos could be redacted, while a name and address were needed to verify an identity. Loblaw offered the $25 gift card as a goodwill gesture after admitting it participated in an alleged industry-wide arrangement to co-ordinate bread price increases.SIR Royalty Income Fund. (TSX:SRV.UN). Down $2.89, or 21 per cent, to $10.87. SIR Royalty Income Fund units fell to a multi-year low Wednesday after it warned that investor payouts will drop 16.7 per cent to reflect a drop in food and drink sales at its restaurants, which include the Jack Astors chain. SIR said same-store sales for its operating company's fourth quarter, which ended Aug. 25, were down 5.9 per cent and didn't improve during the first four weeks of its 2020 financial year. As a result, the trust will lower the monthly cash distributions to be paid on SIR Royalty units by 1.75 cents to 8.75 cents per unit, starting in November, down from 10.5 cents per unit.Hexo Corp. (TSX:HEXO). Down 12 cents or 3.56 per cent to $3.25. Cannabis company Hexo Corp. is moving to undercut prices in the illicit market with a new 28-gram product that costs consumers as much as one dollar less per gram than at the average illegal dispensary. The product, under the brand Original Stash, which will be on sale in Quebec cannabis stores starting Thursday for $125.70, or $4.49 per gram, including taxes, the company said. That's cheaper than the average cost of a gram of cannabis at $7.37 per gram during the third quarter, with the price of legal and illegal weed at $10.23 and $5.59 per gram, respectively, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis of crowdsourced data.

Aramco Is Set to Formally Announce Listing Plan Next Month
(Bloomberg) -- Saudi Aramco will kick off its much-anticipated initial public offering next month as the oil giant recovers faster than expected from the biggest terror attacks in its history.The state-run company plans to announce its intention to float around Oct. 20, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The firm, which is holding analyst meetings from Wednesday, is targeting a valuation of at least $2 trillion -- more than double that of Apple Inc.Aramco’s listing on the Saudi stock exchange could take place as early as November, though the timetable hasn’t been finalized, one of the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.. The IPO preparations come as the company took its production capacity back above 11 million barrels a day, beating its own target by about a week, other people said.Flat OutBanks are working flat out to get the mammoth IPO done after drone and missile attacks on two Aramco facilities on Sept. 14 caused a record surge in oil prices and risked delaying the deal for a second time. A $2 trillion valuation would make Aramco’s the world’s most valuable firm and mark a victory for the offering’s architect, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, who first mooted the idea in 2016. Some analysts see a $1.5 trillion valuation as more realistic.“Aramco seems to be making all efforts to restore full production as soon as possible, both to reassure its clients that it is a reliable supplier and to avoid any IPO delays,” said Richard Segal, a London-based senior emerging-markets analyst at Manulife Asset Management. “Listing in a couple months is realistic on the assumption that the paperwork is ready. They’ve had plenty of time for this.”The eventual timing of the share sale and other details will depend on market conditions and investor demand, the people said. Aramco didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.Analyst MeetingsMore than 100 investment bankers, government officials and Aramco executives are gathering for two days of analyst presentations at the company’s headquarters in Dhahran in the kingdom’s Eastern Province, the people said. Members of Aramco’s management are presenting to banks’ research teams and global coordinators are briefing executives at the firm, they said.At the same time, Aramco has been working hard to restore total production capacity, while maintaining normal supplies to customers by tapping inventories and ramping up other fields. The state-run company has now restored production at the Abqaiq processing facility and Khurais oil field to levels seen before the attack, according to people with knowledge of the situation.(Updates with analyst quote in fifth paragraph.)To contact the reporters on this story: Matthew Martin in Dubai at mmartin128@bloomberg.net;Dinesh Nair in London at dnair5@bloomberg.net;Archana Narayanan in Dubai at anarayanan16@bloomberg.net;Anthony DiPaola in Dubai at adipaola@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Ben Scent at bscent@bloomberg.net, Stefania Bianchi, Shaji MathewFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
