I think the fact that they allow you other breaks (studying and doing assignments) could be subtracted from the time they take from your meal breaks.

No where in the labour laws of Manitoba and Alberta (where I've worked) does it state that an employee must eat during his meal breaks, nor do those breaks need to be scheduled. One place I worked I would often get my 1/2 hour break within the first hour of my shift if it was busy. It sucked, but that was the way it worked.
