Canada Labour Code

169.1 (1) Every employee is entitled to and shall be granted an unpaid break of at least 30 minutes during every period of five consecutive hours of work. If the employer requires the employee to be at their disposal during the break period, the employee must be paid for the break.

Australian rules are similar. I believe we are required to take a break of at least half an hour after every five hours of work. 1 hour is the standard lunch entitlement

We also have an unwritten right to two 15 minute paid breaks for morning and afternoon tea which will slowly disappear as fewer and fewer people use it
