Service Industries

(1) Service Industries account for 70 per cent of Canada's gross domestic product. These industries employ about 73 per cent of the nation's workers. Service industries are especially important in metropolitan areas.

(2) Community, business, and personal services form the leading group of service industries in Canada. This group includes a great variety of activities, such as education and health care, data processing and legal services, and the operation of hotels and recreational facilities. Community, business, and personal services employ about a third of Canada's workers.

(3) Finance, insurance, and real estate form the second most important service industry in Canada in terms of the gross domestic product. Toronto and Montreal are the leading financial centers in Canada. Canada's commercial banking system consists of 8 Canadian-owned banks and 59 small foreign-owned banks. These banks operate about 7,000 branches throughout the country. Trust companies and credit unions also offer banking services. The main Canadian stock exchange is located in Toronto, and smaller stock exchanges operate in Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary.

(4) Other service industries include government; trade; and transportation, communication, and utilities. Government services, which include military activities, are centered in Ottawa, the nation's capital, and in the provincial capitals and major cities. Retail trade, which consists of such establishments as automobile dealerships and grocery stores, employs many people in large cities. Foreign trade, transportation, and communication are discussed later in this section.
