Thank you. I'm just trying to think, Mr. Speaker. We haven't taken the initiative to the point of it being a holiday. I think what we need to do is take advantage of a day like today, which is Heritage Day in much the same way as the Yellowknife school board who identified it as a day for students to participate in a heritage event. The communities and school boards can review this matter and expand the nature of the day that has been identified. But we have not identified a day in the year as a holiday. That point has been made to me before and I'm not certain we could afford the holiday, without it being part of an overall plan for the school year.
