TORONTO, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index
rallied more than 1 percent shortly after the open as Valeant
Pharmaceuticals International Inc VRX.TO shares rebounded
after being battered by charges of price gauging and as
higher-than-expected domestic growth data also gave other
sectors a healthy boost.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index
.GSPTSE rose 142.02 points, or 1.09 percent, to 13,178.98.
Materials, which groups miners and other resource names, was the
only sector in the red.
