May 11 (Reuters) – The government of the Western Canadian

province of Saskatchewan said on Friday it wants the federal

government to impose conditions on G l encore International PLC’s

takeover bid for the country’s top grain handler,

Viterra Inc, whose headquarters are in Saskatchewan.

The federal Conservative government must decide whether the

foreign takeover is of net benefit to Canada. The independent

Competition Bureau is also examining Glencore’s plans to sell

parts of Viterra to Agrium Inc and Richardson

International Ltd.
