In Ontario there is no overlap. Even for a few minutes its illegal. So its not "bending the rules" its "breaking the law" and yes there a big difference between the two. One can get you a slap on the wrist the other a big fine and up to a year in jail.

tell the family they have to wait, take a loss of income for the two weeks as its a lot less then the fine will be.


If you are not in Ontario - then I can't help you
