The complainant, whose name is subject to a publication ban, testified Thursday she left Bangladesh in 2022 on a 15-day leave intended for travel to the United States. Instead, she flew to Toronto on a visitor visa and began applying for jobs in Canada, eventually accepting a position at Empire Diner in Gull Lake, Sask.

Seeding is nearly three-quarters complete, with producers across the province reporting 72 per cent of crops in the ground, according to the latest crop report from the Ministry of Agriculture.

Seeding remains well ahead of the five-year average of 60 per cent and the 10-year average of 64 per cent.
