dc.description.abstract	This study is trying to answer the question M&A can create value for Canadian energy firms or destroy value for them. It uses 37 acquiring firms in 2010 and 42 acquiring firms in 2011 in order to find the relationship between merger and acquisition (M&A) and post-acquisition performance of Canadian energy firms to make a reasonable conclusion whether market reaction to M&A is good or bad. In the thesis, the market model and cumulative abnormal return (CAR) are used. From the output, there exists evidence of statistically significant abnormal returns. It shows higher trading volume during the event window as well.	en_CA
