     1
     2   Q.   You come into the restaurant for the whole day ---
     3        A.  Right.
     4
     5   Q.   -- making it your business to make phone calls and to talk
     6        to members of the staff.  What I think is being suggested
     7        to you it must have got around to whoever was there why you
     8        gone in that day?
     9        A.  Well, when I first came in, the only people who knew
    10        who were coming in was Sabina and Chris and I.  They were
    11        the only three people who knew what was going on.  Until
    12        I spoke to anybody, nobody would have known what I was
    13        doing, so .....
    14
    15   Q.   But did not a time come during the day when it would be
    16        obvious to whoever was managing the restaurant while you
    17        were there?
    18        A.  Not necessarily, because most of the people I spoke to
    19        was after their shift when they were leaving, so they just
    20        walk out and not say anything to anybody.  When I leave my
    21        shift, I do not stop and talk to everybody for five or 10
    22        minutes.  I just leave and go home.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  If you went to see people in the crew room, then
    25        anybody in the crew room would have got to find out why you
    26        were there, and some people in the crew room would have
    27        gone back to their stations anyway, would they not?
    28        A.  The ones I spoke to who were on break, yes, they would
    29        have gone back to their stations.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Was Mr. Ballantyne there at all that day, can
    32        you remember now?
    33        A.  As far as I remember, that was the weekend his mother
    34        was in the hospital, so he was not there the whole
    35        weekend.  He was not in the town of Orangeville for the
    36        whole weekend.
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  He dropped in at some stage or other though?
    39        A.  Not for the weekend.  He was not there.  He took his
    40        mother in the hospital.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I think there is a misunderstanding.
    43        What you are saying, for the whole weekend he did not visit
    44        or was not in there?
    45        A.  He was not in the town.  His mother does not live in
    46        Orangeville.  She is, like, an hour away.
    47
    48   Q.   He was not there at all that weekend, you are saying?
    49        A.  That is what I am saying, right.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  In the course of these conversations where you were 
    52        trying to get people to sign this petition, is that correct 
    53         ---
    54        A.  Yes.
    55
    56   Q.   -- you discovered, so you say, animosity towards Sarah; is
    57        that correct?
    58        A.  Well, yes, a lot of crew were upset that she had lied
    59        to them as well.
