Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think we need to discuss that particular matter. One has to recognize what it is in terms of cost to government to allow our staff off during that particular time. It's interesting, Mr. Speaker, but the Government of Alberta, despite their efforts to recognize today as one of those days, is, in fact, moving to identify, I believe, the third Sunday in every February as Heritage Day so that they don't lose money in terms of expenditures. I will take into consideration the comments of the honourable Member and hopefully we can get some resolution, but it is a cost factor and that should be considered.
