** Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP BIP.N is on the cusp of its second decade, and chief executive officer Sam Pollock is shoring up capital while preparing to welcome a new slate of index investors to mark the occasion.

** Canada and Britain have joined forces in their efforts to get Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co BA.N to drop its trade complaint against Bombardier Inc BBDb.TO , with British Prime Minister Theresa May taking her concerns over the case to U.S. President Donald Trump.

NATIONAL POST

** The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario on Tuesday released a commentary covering the province's proposal to increase the minimum wage to C$15 ($12.4) an hour, finding the added labour costs for businesses will increase workers' incomes, but that those extra payroll costs will force firms to axe some lower-income positions.

Canada's two major rail companies, Canadian National Railway Co CNR.TO and Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd CP.TO, sounded off on Tuesday against a new legislative proposal they say will give U.S. competitors unfair access to the Canadian rail network, and potentially cause more of the country's smaller and remoter rail lines to be abandoned.
