translate English to French: Mr. Mahil argued later that the department’s oral evidence that 2 employees had spoken to Ms Sawatzky, constituted hearsay; there was no direct evidence that in fact they had, only Ms. McAuley’s evidence that they had told him they had.
M. Mahil fait valoir par la suite que le témoignage du ministère selon lequel deux employés ont parlé à Mme Sawatzky constitue un ouï-dire, car aucune preuve directe ne démontre qu’ils lui ont effectivement parlé, sauf le témoignage de M. McAuley.
