...concern for the work force in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and offshore Newfoundland and Labrador; all of which are the major producers of oil and gas in Canada. Alberta for example, which holds the lion’s share of oil reserves in Canada, provides 239,000 jobs to Albertans as well as its oil industry affects the jobs of 112,000 people outside the province. Overall, the entire Canadian industry provides jobs for 550,000 Canadians! Presently, the industry is thriving due to the dependence on oil by consumers as there is no cheaper alternative available, but it is on the verge of peaking in a few years.

Nevertheless, these numbers are expected to drastically drop as U.S oil production increases.

...Ethical Issues in Mergers and Acquisitions MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS-AN OVERVIEW: The phrase mergers and acquisitions (M&A) refers to the aspect of corporate strategy, corporate finance and management dealing with the buying, selling and combining of different companies that can aid, finance, or help a growing company (in a given industry) grow rapidly without having to create another business entity. In legal terminology, mergers and acquisitions can be defined as follows: • Merger: A full joining together of two previously separate corporations. A true merger in the legal sense occurs when both businesses dissolve and fold their assets and liabilities into a newly created third entity. This entails the creation of a new corporation. • Acquisition: Taking possession of another business, also called a takeover or buyout. It may be share purchase (the buyer buys the shares of the target company from the shareholders of the target company. The buyer will take on the company with all its assets and liabilities. ) or asset purchase (buyer buys the assets of the target company from the target company). Although they are often uttered in the same breath and used as though they were synonymous, the terms merger and acquisition mean slightly different things. A purchase deal will also be called a merger when both CEOs agree that joining together is in the best interest of both of their companies. But when the deal is unfriendly - that is, when the target company does not want...
