Canada will wait on Nortel court ruling -minister

TORONTO, July 28 (Reuters) - Canadian Industry Minister Tony Clement reiterated on Tuesday that he will wait for the courts to first give their ruling on the sale of Nortel Networks' (NRTLQ.PK) wireless assets before he decides if the government will intervene in the deal.
