Mergers and Acquisitions

Ontario Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions Activity (2002-2006)


Ontario companies continue to exhibit a strong appetite for foreign companies. Given Canada’s position within NAFTA, foreign buyers also find investments in Ontario companies attractive as they can provide a platform from which to enter the U.S. market. In 2006, Ontario companies acquired US$31.95 billion of foreign companies while foreign companies invested US$68.03 billion in Ontario businesses and assets.
