That is typically the case. Previous versions of this bill that have been introduced into the House also laid out a provision for it to be on the last Friday before or the Monday after. That was something I sought to remove from the bill. With respect to Remembrance Day, the day itself is what's important. The 11th is the 11th. If it falls on a weekend, that should be the day. Again, it's not about having the day off, it's about having the opportunity to commemorate. If that means that people who work in businesses are there on weekends and end up having that day as opposed to a regular weekday worker who gets the day off, then so be it.
On March 30th, 2015. See this statement in context.
