     1        you would not mind shouting at me?  I really cannot hear
     2        what you say.  You were the main -----
     3        A.  Participant.
     4
     5   Q.   You were the main participant?
     6        A.  I was the head of the committee.
     7
     8   Q.   You were the head of the committee.  On your committee,
     9        there were how many people?
    10        A.  In the beginning, I believe there were probably about
    11        anywhere from 10 to 12 people, and then it dwindled in
    12        support and we ended up with -- then we ended up with five,
    13        including myself.
    14
    15   Q.   Initially, you had Shawn Darby?
    16        A.  Yes.
    17
    18   Q.   Joel Beetson?
    19        A.  Yes.  His name is also Henderson.  He changed it.
    20
    21   Q.   I thought it might be the same person; that is one person.
    22        Courtney Gill?
    23        A.  Yes.
    24
    25   Q.   Christa Rogers?
    26        A.  Yes.
    27
    28   Q.   Initially, Chris Morrison?
    29        A.  Yes.
    30
    31   Q.   And Nicole Owen?
    32        A.  Yes.
    33
    34   Q.   Who else?
    35        A.  (Pause)  I am just trying to remember.  I believe
    36        Richard Hall was on it.
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  Can I ask a legal question?  Miss Inglis indicated
    39        to us that she was concerned that she would not put
    40        anyone's job in jeopardy who are still working at
    41        McDonald's.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You really cannot worry about that.  She has
    44        got to answer the questions which are put to her.  I have
    45        no reason to believe that it would jeopardise their jobs
    46        now.  But, even if I had grounds for believing that, there

    48        questions, or would want to.
    49
    50   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I already know the names, anyway, and

    52        McDonald's do, too. 
    53
    54   THE WITNESS:   The problem I have with that is that, in Canada,
    55        management is not allowed to see the union cards.
    56
    57   MR. RAMPTON:   Sorry, management -----
    58        A.  Management is not allowed to see the union cards.
    59        Unless people volunteer the information to management that
    60        they are part of the union, it is illegal for management to
