His remarks on a Tuesday conference call with analysts came after MEG reported third-quarter earnings on Monday after the bell.

Cargojet Inc. (TSX:CJT). Transportation. Down $1.65, or 1.92 per cent, to $84.29. The slide in consumer spending has squeezed Cargojet Inc.'s bottom line, its CEO said, as Canadians shell out less on goods that land on shelves and doorsteps after a trip by air freighter. The Mississauga, Ont.-based company, which provides time-sensitive overnight air freight services and aircraft leases, reported a third-quarter profit of $10.5 million in the quarter ended Sept. 30, down from $83.5 million in the same period the year before.
TransAlta Corp. (TSX:TA). Utilities. Up 27 cents, or 2.54 per cent, to $10.92. TransAlta Corp. reported its third-quarter profit rose compared with a year ago as its power production and revenue also came in higher. TransAlta chief executive John Kousinioris said the third-quarter results demonstrate the value of the company's strategically diversified fleet, which benefited from its asset optimization and hedging activities. The power utility said its profit attributable to common shareholders totalled $372 million or $1.41 per diluted share for the quarter ended Sept. 30, up from $61 million or 23 cents per share a year earlier.
