     1        the lawyers on your behalf and paid for them, either?
     2        A.  No, I do not.
     3
     4   Q.   Did you ever ask about that?
     5        A.  No.
     6
     7   Q.   You were subpoenaed to attend the Labour Board hearings,
     8        along with about 20 other employees who were also
     9        subpoenaed; is that correct?
    10        A.  Yes, I was.
    11
    12   Q.   The other 20 employees were subpoenaed, as well?
    13        A.  I guess they were.  I do not know.  I assume they were.
    14
    15   Q.   In your statement -----
    16        A.  If that is what I put in there, I guess -----
    17
    18   Q.   It says: "I was subpoenaed along with about 20 other
    19        employees to give evidence."
    20        A.  I guess they were subpoenaed.  I do not know for a fact
    21        if they were.  I know I was.
    22
    23   Q.   You were willing to give evidence quite voluntarily, yes?
    24        A.  Yes, I would have.
    25
    26   Q.   Did any of the other employees show any reluctance or say
    27        to you that they were reluctant to give evidence?
    28        A.  Not to me, no; they did not to me.
    29
    30   Q.   The reason they were subpoenaed, was it not, was so the
    31        Company could pay them a large amount of money, the
    32        official rate, $100 a day, to give evidence?
    33        A.  I do not know the reason they were subpoenaed, but
    34        I was subpoenaed because I wrote a letter to the
    35        Labour Board and they wanted me to go down and tell them my
    36        story.  I know that is why I was subpoenaed.  I do not know
    37        about the rest of them; I assume for the same reason.
    38
    39   MS. STEEL:   Sorry, that was by Cam's lawyers; that is right?
    40        That is what it says in your statement.
    41        A.  Yes.  I got two subpoenas.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  When you were interviewed by lawyers before the
    44        Labour Court hearing, you were paid scheduled work time to
    45        do that, were you; while you were being interviewed by
    46        lawyers, you got paid for that?
    47        A.  I only talked to a lawyer once.  I do not remember
    48        getting paid for it.
    49
    50   Q.   Was it while you were at work? 
    51        A.  No, I was not at work. 
    52 
    53   Q.   Did you know about the details of the settlement proposals?
    54        Were you involved in negotiation over that, or evaluating
    55        them?
    56        A.  Talking the union thing?
    57
    58   Q.   The agreement to -----
    59
