Lifesciences and health care make up a large portion of the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada.
Despite the presence of socialized medicine in Canada, there is still a very large demand for health care services and research. Some of the pharmaceutical companies in Canada are currently producing drugs, some are research companies that are sheding money, but hoping to discover a new drug and some provide other medical services to the sector.
