     1        A.  No, it was just Chris Broom who told us that.
     2
     3   Q.   It was Chris who told you that?
     4        A.  Right.  It was just Chris Broom and he said he had
     5        talked to his dad and his dad suggested that we do this
     6        first, and I never saw Cam that whole weekend.
     7
     8   Q.   Right.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Did Chris Broom ever say anything to you
    11        about having spoken to Cam Ballantyne about it ---
    12        A.  No.
    13
    14   Q.   -- or about the Labour Board hearings at all?
    15        A.  He said, when I was talking to him he said that his dad
    16        said, you know, just to get the petitions out, and Chris
    17        said:  "I think we should tell Cam" and I said:  "Well, let
    18        us get this done first, then Monday when we come back we
    19        will talk to Cam".  So, from my understanding, Chris was
    20        planning on talking to Cam with me when I got back so he
    21        had not talked to him.
    22
    23   MS. STEEL:   Chris had told you also that Cam was not supposed
    24        to talk to you about the union?
    25        A.  That is, yes.  He told me that we are not -- that we
    26        are not supposed, like:  "Do not say anything to Cam" is
    27        what he said to me.  Like, once we had handed in the
    28        petition and after we had walked out of his office, he
    29        said:  "We will see what happens from here".  The green
    30        sheets went up and he said:  "If you want to do the letter
    31        of intervention, then do it", so we did that, and Chris
    32        said:  "It is best not to talk to Cam from here on in".
    33
    34   Q.   So it was not just supposed to be you not talking to Cam,
    35        Cam was not supposed to talk to you, was he, about the
    36        union?
    37        A.  Well, I am not sure, Cam -----
    38
    39   Q.   That is what Chris said, was it not?  That is what you said
    40        yesterday.
    41        A.  No, I said that Chris said that we should not talk to
    42        Cam.  Cam talked about it at that rap session, but other
    43        than that, you know, I do not remember him mentioning
    44        anything, like, there was those videos and such, but he
    45        never had a meeting or he never had a one-on-one with me to
    46        talk to me about the union.
    47
    48   Q.   Do you still see Chris Broom and Cam Ballantyne?
    49        A.  Well, I talk to Chris Broom almost every day.  He is
    50        like my best friend. 
    51 
    52   Q.   Right.  Does he still work at McDonald's? 
    53        A.  Yes, he does.
    54
    55   Q.   What about Cam, do you still see him?
    56        A.  I still see him but not very often.  Like, he is in the
    57        store every day but I do not talk to him every day.
    58
    59   Q.   Did you talk to him about coming here to give evidence?
    60        A.  He called, well, he called me into his office, yes, and
