OTTAWA, July 29 | Wed Jul 29, 2009 12:35pm EDT

OTTAWA, July 29 (Reuters) - Canada will not make a decision on whether to review Nortel Networks' NRTLQQ.PK $1.13 billion sale of wireless assets to Sweden's Ericsson (ERICb.ST) until after a 21-day appeal period is complete, Canadian Industry Minister Tony Clement said on Wednesday.

Clement made the comments to reporters in Ottawa.

He also said Canada's fiscal deficit will end when the economy picks up speed. (Reporting by Louise Egan, writing by Cameron French; editing by Peter Galloway)
