I am an Anesthesiologist who works in a Toronto Hospital - the VAST majority of Anesthesiologists (I know of none in the 416 area code) are NOT paid by the Hospital.  Please list your reference(s) that claim that Anesthesioloigsts are directly paid (a salary) by their Hospitals.  Perhaps you are mistaking Pathologists (where the majority are paid a salary by their Hospitals) with Anesthesiologists - Pathologists work on dead people while I keep my patient alive.
