Thank you, Madam Speaker. Just as we take a break for the long weekend, I just wanted to wish all my constituents oh wait, Madam Speaker, it's not a long weekend because I thought perhaps we were in New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, or British Columbia where Monday will be Family Day, Madam Speaker. Or perhaps we were in PEI where they will be celebrating Islander Day, or Manitoba where they'll be celebrating Louis Riel Day or Nova Scotia Heritage Day. But no, Madam Speaker, even though our February is cold and dark, there's no holidays for us.
Madam Speaker, I want to commend the Minister with the introduction of the truth and reconciliation as a statutory holiday. We're now at a tie for first place for the most statutory holidays, with 11, tied with Yukon but, Madam Speaker, I challenge us to take the lead and beat Yukon and let's have the most holidays in Canada by introducing a February statutory holiday. I'll have questions for the Minister. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Thank you, Member. Members' statements. Member for Deh Cho.
