Let's see... g/Sunday/s//evening/p Hmm... g/Sunday/s//Saturday/p Hmm... g/Sunday opening/s//Sunday movie theatre opening/p Hmm... g/Sunday opening/s//Sunday public transportation/p Jim, if the problem is really "fairness to the people who'd work Sundays", then let the provincial government legislate that stores open on Sunday may not use their full-time employees. Only business proprietors or partners, designated shareholders (>10% ownership in the business and their families) and part-time employees may be used. That way, no employee is "forced" to work Sundays (even if they want to!), and what Sunday openings there are will reduce unemployment.
