Activity in Canada's mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market is expected to rise in 2017, building on the strong trends exhibited last year, according to a new report by Citi in partnership with Mergermarket. A survey of 50 senior M&A practitioners found 66 percent believe deal-making will increase in the months ahead.
