Some people on Prince Edward Island don't like the idea of allowing year-round Sunday shopping, saying it's too much.

Pastor Mark Reeves said he's not happy that stores are allowed to stay open between Victoria Day and Christmas under the current rules, and he doesn't want to see that expanded.

"The way I figure, you have the whole week to shop, evenings and Saturdays," Reeves said. " I don't think you need to shop on Sundays. It should be a family day or a day to go to church, as far as I'm concerned."

Opposition Leader Olive Crane tabled a private members bill in the legislature Tuesday that would allow year-round Sunday shopping.

The bill could come to a free vote as early as Thursday.

Two fast food store owners are looking forward to not having to open on Sundays starting in January.

"Life is becoming crazy, you know? To think about making money, money, money — they forget all other things. Life is important, too," said Eddie Rashed, owner of Big Burger.

Michael Daoud, of Jumbo Pizza, said he would have to work all the time if there was year-round Sunday shopping.

"I don't agree with that," he said. "I like it the way it is — half-year open, half -year not open."

The Charlottetown Chamber of Commerce said its members want a level playing field with the other provinces where Sunday shopping year-round is the norm.

NDP Leader James Rodd called on the Ghiz government Wednesday to hold a plebiscite on the issue of Sunday shopping.
