The following excerpt is from Hayer v. The Queen, 2012 TCC 392 (CanLII):

The decision of Justice Woods in 1022239 Ontario v. M.N.R., 2004 TCC 615, [2004] T.C.J. No. 455, where she concluded that the cab drivers were independent contractors in respect to pensionable earnings, can also be distinguished on the basis that the drivers exercised much greater control over their shifts and were not instructed where to drive.
