Glencore's hostile bid for Teck Resources has galvanised some Canadian institutional investors, who have lobbied the federal government to push the nation's biggest pension funds to lift their exposure to domestic companies, according to a presentation seen by Reuters.

Politicians and business lobby groups have asked the federal government to block the $22.5-billion bid and Ottawa has said Glencore would face rigorous scrutiny.
