SASKATOON — Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall will not make a pit stop in Ottawa this week to speak with federal politicians about BHP Billiton’s $38.6-billion hostile takeover bid for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc.

Wall was expected to travel to Ottawa to make his case in person to federal politicians, but he has been advised they already have enough information to make their decision.

The Prime Minister’s Office has told the province that the federal government will not receive further representations on the matter.

No one from the provincial government would speak to the matter Sunday, but a statement prepared for the media states Wall is confident the province’s position is fully understood and will receive due consideration by the federal government.

Federal Industry Minister Tony Clement is expected to decide Wednesday whether to block the Australian mining company’s bid for Potash Corp.
