Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, this is the section that was moved as amended and essentially we just clarified that statutory leave isn't being included in business days, but the mandatory -- sorry -- mandatory leave for the period of December 19th and January 5th. Prior to that, it didn't include that we're -- we're really just doing a very GNWT amendment and making Donny Days a business day.

But my question for the Minister is business days are, you know, a very important definition in a lot of acts and have very significant consequences in other legislation. I'm just wondering if this issue is expected to arise or exist in any other pieces of legislation, or if there's something the Minister is looking into? Thank you.
