carpenters worked on the scaffolding, all of the tubular metal scaffolding was done by mason tenders or, in some instances prior to 1971, by labourers belonging to the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union.

15. One of the three instances where carpenters in the employ of Stebbins were used on tubular metal scaffolding was on a high-density tank in Red Rock in 1973. Three carpenters were employed on the job. The carpenters built forms for the flareout and roof and also erected a shelter comprised of wooden frames covered with plastic which they put up around the tank as protection against cold winter weather. Two of the carpenters appear to have been laid off during periods when there was no formwork or shelter work to be done. One of the carpenters, however, Mr. G. Paakkunainen, was employed continuously on the project. Mr. Paakkunainen testified before the Board. On the basis of Mr. Paakkunainen's testimony, we are led to conclude that with the help of a labourer he installed most of the scaffolding, but that there was not sufficient scaffolding work and carpentry work to keep him busy and, accordingly, he spent much of his time doing other work, including manning the hose attached to the concrete pump, working the concrete vibrator, handing tiles to a mason, and even helping with the jointing.

16. Canadian Stebbins also built a high-density tank in Marathon in 1974. Only one carpenter was employed on this job, namely, Mr. Paakkunainen, who was employed throughout the project. Mr. Paakkunainen built the formwork for the flareout with the assistance of a labourer. No roof form was used. Mr. Paakkunainen erected all of the scaffolding used on the tank with the assistance of a labourer. This work took about one day a week. During the rest of the time Mr. Paakkunainen acted as a mason tender to Mr. A. Allain, a mason who was the superintendent on the job. At times Mr. Paakkunainen also worked the concrete pump and operated the vibrator. According to Mr. Allain, Mr. Paakkunainen was an exceptional worker who "was as good as three labourers".

17. The final job done by Stebbins where a carpenter worked on tubular metal scaffolding was in Fort Francis in 1975 when two straight-sided bleach tanks were being constructed. Two carpenters were employed on the job, but only one at a time. A carpenter built the form for the roof, and the carpenters also did all of the scaffolding. The outside scaffolding was in the normal form. The inside scaffolding, however, was somewhat different. Because of the shape of one of the tanks, over the top of the scaffolding was laid a wooden floor. The interior scaffolding was moved up by tearing up the wooden floor, raising the metal scaffolding a lift, and then installing a new wooden floor. Even including the work on the wooden floor, the scaffolding work was not sufficient to keep a carpenter busy. The testimony of Mr. M. DeGagne, one of the carpenters who was on the site, indicates that although he spent some of his time helping with the concrete pour as well as moving scaffold frames about on the ground, there were still times when he had nothing to do.
