It would certainly change the center of gravity at the university and would make it a lot like all of the other universities in Canada with medical schools. Might be more of a competitive advantage to not have one. It's not like you can have a medical school and not have it take up space.
(MIT does not have a medical school either.)
I don't really think it's in the cards (although there is still space down at King and Victoria!), but the amount of health and medical-related activity that is going on at UofW (and its high tech spinoffs) seems impressive.
MIT doesn't have one, but Stanford does.
