Though it sounds like a penalty for new arrivals, its name is actually derived from former Quebec cabinet member Jean Bienvenue, who tabled the bill proposing the tax; Bienvenue’s surname translates into English as ‘welcome’. These municipal-level real estate transfer taxes can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, and property buyers must pay within 30 days of closing their purchase.<br /> <br /></p> Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:48:12 +0000 admin 141078 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/us-expansion-plans-head-south-quebecs-autobus-lion-362213 <p>In 2023, the Quebec electric vehicle maker Autobus Lion opened a $150 million truck manufacturing facility in Illinois, but its expansion into the United States has not gone according to plan. Much of its 900,000 square foot facility sits empty, and the company is sub-leasing the space. Now, the company is on the brink of bankruptcy and working with investors to determine if it can be salvaged.</p> Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:52:25 +0000 admin 141077 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/making-strategic-assets-available-pension-funds-would-encourage-more-domestic-investment-362215 <p>Canadian pension funds have a mandate to deliver steady pension payments to millions of plan members, writes Professor <a href="/desautels/sebastien-betermier"><strong>Sebastien Betermier</strong></a> in Benefits Canada. But that’s easier said than done, and the most cost-efficient way to deliver is by investing in a globally diversified portfolio tilted toward strategic assets. This type of asset, however, isn’t available in Canada, so pension funds look for them elsewhere.</p> Wed, 18 Dec 2024 19:02:27 +0000 admin 141076 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/mipc-2024-students-tackle-global-finance-challenges-innovation-and-leadership-362211 <p>The <strong>ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ International Portfolio Challenge (MIPC) </strong>2024 was held in November and drew a record 99 teams from 47 universities across 17 countries, cementing its reputation as a premier global finance competition.

While all of Canada’s Big Six banks now include some crypto ETFs in their portfolios, these investments represent only a small fraction of their holdings. A major advantage of ETFs is their ability to offer protection from market volatility. However, given the speculative nature of crypto means it can still be extremely volatile, even within an ETF structure.</p> Wed, 11 Dec 2024 19:12:36 +0000 admin 141068 at /dobson
