Coveo Solutions (CVO.TO), Docebo Inc (DCBO.TO), Tecsys Inc (TCS.TO), Lightspeed Commerce (LSPD.TO) and BlackBerry (BB.TO) also declined sharply.

In the materials sector, Equinox Gold Corp (EQX.TO) and Aya Gold & Silver (AYA.TO) ended down 5.9% and 5.6%, respectively. First Majestic Silver Corp (AG.TO), New Gold (NGD.TO), Ero Copper (ERO.TO), Silvercrest Metals (SIL.TO) and Seabridge Gold (SEA.TO) were among the other major losers in the sector.
