Canada’s Industry Minister says he will render his decision on Rogers Communications Inc.’s proposed $26-billion purchase of Shaw Communications Inc. only after there is clarity in the ongoing legal battle.

The Saturday statement from Francois-Philippe Champagne comes days after the Competition Tribunal dismissed an application from Canada’s competition watchdog seeking to block the takeover, a decision the Competition Bureau says it’s appealing.
