11
12 Q. Did you get overtime pay when you worked those extra

28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: With a climate like Ontario, I can imagine
29 there might be rather different hours in the middle of the
30 winter from the middle of summer; is that right?
31 A. Yes, we are one of the busiest stores. Orangeville is
32 one of the busiest stores in the summer time because
33 everybody is going to their cottage. Because we are up
34 north and in the winter time, we are dead compared to the
35 summer time. We are so slow. So, there is more hours to
36 give out and so people are getting more hours in the summer
37 time in comparison to the winter time.

44 little town and there is, like, little towns surrounding
45 ours. So Brampton is half an hour away, Newmarket, like,
46 all the big cities are about an hour away, half an hour to
47 an hour away.
