OTTAWA, June 12 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index was little changed on Monday as losses in the technology sector offset shares of energy companies which rose in tandem with the price of oil.

The energy sector .SPTTEN was the strongest gainer, up 0.3 percent as oil prices broke a three-day losing streak despite rising U.S. drilling. O/R

Encana Corp ECA.TO rose 1.2 percent to C$12.78, while Cenovus Energy

U.S. crude CLc1 prices were up 1.7 percent to $46.59 a barrel, while Brent crude LCOc1 added 1.6 percent to $48.92.

But the tech sector .SPTTTK lost 2 percent as CGI Group GIBa.TO tumbled 1.7 percent to C$65.99.

At 10:28 a.m. ET (1428 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 17.03 points, or 0.11 percent, to 15,456.18.

Of the index's 10 main groups, three were in negative territory.

The gold miners' subindex .SPTTGD was flat as gold futures GCc1 fell 0.3 percent to $1,264.7 an ounce. However, Barrick Gold ABX.TO slipped 0.5 percent to C$21.85, while Eldorado Gold ELD.TO lost 5.4 percent to C$3.68.

Shares of aircraft manufacturer Bombardier BBDb.TO were up 2.3 percent at C$2.43, recovering from a decline on Friday, when the U.S. International Trade Commission gave a green light to the U.S. Commerce Department to begin preparing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties against Bombardier's new jets.
