the debt markets have been skittish. But Breakingviews suggests it can succeed if the company's new owners don't push the envelope. Meanwhile, the deal's $48 billion price tag is not

From Ian Austen, DealBook's colleague in Ottawa: Given that Bell Canada's $51.8 billion leveraged

Bell Canada remains the biggest telecommunications company in Canada and the dominant [...]

The Supreme Court of Canada reserved judgment Tuesday on whether to approve the $51.8 billion leveraged buyout of Bell Canada, the country's largest telecommunications company. The Supreme Court will announce its decision later on

The Quebec Court of Appeal late Wednesday overturned a lower court ruling that approved Bell Canada's

From Ian Austen, a DealBook colleague: The $52 billion leveraged buyout plan for Bell Canada will

The federal government's bailout of Citigroup has sparked a surge of confidence that the $50 billion takeover of Bell Canada - the largest leveraged buyout in history - will close on schedule in December.

Bell Canada's $50 billion buyout, the largest in history, has hit another potentially serious

Some event-driven hedge funds won't have much to be thankful for tomorrow. Wednesday's news that Bell Canada's $50 billion leveraged buyout - the largest in history - is in jeopardy will likely hammer several big funds that were gaining confidence the deal

Bell Canada can't seem to persuade KPMG to certify that the Canadian telecommunications giant will be
solvent after its proposed $50 billion leveraged buyout. So the company has commissioned another auditor to produce a more favorable, if nonbinding, opinion. Bell Canada said in an announcement Monday that it has hired PricewaterhouseCoopers to prepare an independent
solvency analysis [...]
