OTTAWA, Sept 26 (Reuters) - The Canadian government will review a planned merger between U.S. grains merchant Bunge and Glencore-backed Viterra, Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez said in a statement on Tuesday.
As part of the review, the transport ministry will launch a public interest assessment of the proposed acquisition, which must be completed by June 2, 2024, he added.
