     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Does the school or university end at about
     3        the end of May in Canada for the long summer break?
     4        A.  I believe so.  I have not attended university yet but I
     5        am pretty sure  .....
     6
     7   Q.   What about school then when you were at school?
     8        A.  High School, I was in late June.
     9
    10   Q.   You go back about the middle or late September, do you?
    11        A.  The beginning of September.
    12
    13   Q.   Beginning of September.
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:  For some of the time at Northern Reflections you
    16        would have been still at school at that stage or you had
    17        left school by then?
    18        A.  I worked, well, in June I worked McDonald's, Northern
    19        reflections and I was going to school.  Then, right, and
    20        then I worked the two jobs, McDonald's and Northern
    21        Reflections, for the summer and then I quit Northern
    22        Reflections in September because I could not do both again,
    23        like school, Northern Reflections and McDonald's.  I could
    24        not do it all.
    25
    26   Q.   Did you have a discussion with Cam Ballantyne about your
    27        job at Northern Reflections?
    28        A.  The only thing I did is I went into him and I told him
    29        that -- I wanted to let him know that I had a second job
    30        and that it would have no effect on McDonald's.
    31
    32   Q.   But he was not happy with that, was he?
    33        A.  He was fine with it.  He told me that he -- he said
    34        that he has known a lot of people who have held two jobs
    35        and that they usually find that they are happier at their
    36        second job, so they usually end up quitting at McDonald's,
    37        or pulling a (indecipherable) at McDonald's so that they
    38        could work their other shift at their other, you know, job
    39        placement.  But I told him that would not happen and he
    40        said that was fine.  He said so long as I can handle both
    41        jobs and as long as it would not affect my performance at
    42        McDonald's, it would be fine.  A lot of people now have two
    43        jobs.
    44
    45   Q.   Is that when they were trying to save up money or because
    46        they have bills to pay or whatever?
    47        A.  It is usually because they are trying to save up money
    48        for university or bills.
    49
    50   Q.   When you started at McDonald's did you generally get eight 
    51        hour shifts? 
    52        A.  No. 
    53
    54   Q.   What were the shift patterns?
    55        A.  They varied between three and a half to four and a half
    56        to six and a half.
    57
    58   Q.   So Mr. Ballantyne introduced new shift patterns, did he
    59        not, when he took over the Company?
    60        A.  Not that I remember.
