Q: I've been a long suffering shareholder. Stantec has done several acquisitions in the environmental and water infrastructure areas but no traction because eps never seems to grow. Is it time to move on? I like the sector exposure so would SNC or WSP be better growth options?

Q: I have a reasonable balance of these stocks in my TFSA. With the pullback, should I add to a laggard or introduce a new one? Open to ETF as well. Long term.
Have great weekend.

Q: I've held Stantec for about 4 years. I'm up about 5% plus the rather low dividend payout. I've held on because not losing money is important, and I appreciate the portfolio diversification it provides. However, I'm feeling increasingly impatient and have been contemplating switching it for Brookfield Asset Management. Is it worth sticking with Stantec? Also, is Brookfield tax efficient in a cash account? I know some of the Brookfield companies have complicated structures.

Thanks for all your help!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team
With the demise of Carillion, I wonder if you would hazard a guess as to which of the above companies would be most likely to pick up some assets based on the size of the war chest, past behaviour, etc.?

Q: I have been holding STN for a while and it has been going sideways for about 4 years with mediocre fundamentals. Do you think a switch into CAE would make sense at this time or do you find CAE too expensive? Would you recommend any other replacement or better stick with STN?
Thanks
