Canada weighs in on Oracle's takeover bid
Oracle's hostile bid for PeopleSoft is currently under review by Canadian antitrust regulators, adding yet another antitrust hurdle for the database-software maker to jump.

The investigation by Canada's Competition Bureau is not a surprise, given the size of the $7.25-billion (U.S.) buyout proposal and Oracle's large presence in Canada--it has 13 offices and more than 1,000 employees.

But it means that the software maker has to get approval from yet another regulatory agency.
