Maura: What about vacation time?

Harp¹: Well, unlike² our European listeners³, we only get 2 weeks of holidays as a general rule in Canada.

Maura: Right, but that’s only when you start?

Harp: Yes.

Maura: After a few years, you get another week and another week, right?

Harp: Exactly. My parents have a lot more vacation time that I do because they’ve been working for a lot longer. I’m still at 2 weeks.
