On Friday, Hajdu urged the airline company and the union representing its flight attendants to get back to the negotiating table. The Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents around 10,000 flight attendants, has said its main sticking points revolve around wages that have been outpaced by inflation during the course of its previous 10-year contract, along with unpaid labour when planes aren't in the air. Its members voted 99.7 per cent in favour of a strike mandate last week. Talks later resumed before the two sides reached an impasse Tuesday. The airline began a gradual suspension of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge operations Thursday, with a full pause planned for Saturday.

Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu to provide update on Air Canada labour dispute
OTTAWA – Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu is holding a news conference on Parliament Hill today to provide Canadians with an update on the Air Canada strike. Passengers around the world are feeling the effects after the union representing more than 10,000 flight attendants with Air Canada announced its members were walking off the job after it was unable to reach an eleventh-hour deal with the airline. The strike officially began just before 1 a.m. ET on Saturday and in turn, Air Canada locked out its agents about 30 minutes later due to the strike action. On Friday Hajdu urged the airline company and the union representing its flight attendants to get back to the negotiating table. In an interview with The Canadian Press, Hajdu said it's 'critical' that the two parties 'return to the table' to forge a deal on their own. Air Canada and business advocacy groups have called on the government to order binding arbitration to settle the dispute.

Accord Announces Amendment to its Banking Facility
Article content TORONTO — Accord Financial Corp. (TSX – ACD) today announced it has amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the 'Credit Facility'), extending the maturity date to December 15, 2025. Article content This amendment follows two recent short-term extensions: the first announced on July 25, 2025, and the second on August 8, 2025, which extended the maturity date to August 15, 2025. Under the new terms, the total commitment will be reduced from $260 million to $200 million. The amendment also incorporates milestones tied to potential asset sales (with net proceeds to be used to repay bank indebtedness), increases the interest rate on drawn amounts by 1.00%, and updates certain financial covenants. Article content 'While the amendment includes higher pricing and a reduced commitment, the extension provides time for the Company to continue to actively pursue a broad range of strategic initiatives to address the Company's maturing debt obligations (totalling $217.6 million as at June 30, 2025 and coming due by January 31, 2026) and maximize shareholder value,' said Mr. Hitzig. 'These include potential divestitures of portfolio assets or business units, as well as other financing alternatives. The Company continues to work closely with its financial advisors, but there is no assurance that these initiatives will yield a successful result. While we focus on these initiatives, profitable operating performance and growth will continue to be a challenge.' The Company does not plan to provide further updates on its strategic initiatives unless material developments emerge.
