If there is a risk of a leak during the news release preparation, it may be a requirement to Halt before prepping the news release (they may have had a glitch to hold the stock outside of Canada so perhaps the news will only release now after all markets are closed).

A Halt is also free publicity which has value, the longer the Halt the more attention the stock will get and the more impact on the share price it will have. If its positive news then that is an advantage to the shareholder, so it seems that they may be considering the shareholder after all.
