(RTTNews) - After opening slightly down, the Canadian market slipped deeper into the red on Monday, weighed down by losses in healthcare, consumer staples, utilities and materials sectors.

Canadian Energy Services, Bausch Health Companies, Pason Systems ,CCL Industries, Kelt Exploration, Real Matters, Methanex, Ballard Power Systems, Aritzia and Manulife Financial are down 1.7 to 3.2%.
