Yes, and when the questions were put to the membership, as said by the other members from Dominion Command, that was the impression they were also under.
Further, at my branch meeting last night, Tuesday night.... But on Monday night I chaired an election at the other branch in Oakville, Branch 486, Chris Vokes and I asked that question while there was a count. I asked it with no preamble, and the assumption was that it would be a day off with pay. Naturally, the people who were there—there were 66 people there representing their branches and there were six guests, five of us and one other caretaker—probably two thirds to one third were for the national holiday. But these people are all retired. Every day is Saturday to them, so it wouldn't make any difference.
Further, when I looked at the one third who were for not recognizing it as a national holiday, those were the veterans.
