If we have that kind of discrepancy across the country, it might be interesting to see if there are other unifying ways to bring different regions together on the same issue. I think that it could possibly go beyond people simply having a day off. Maybe there could be some type of federal programming even in a lead-up to the day. I'm sure we all remember things like Heritage Minutes on CBC. Perhaps there could be a similar public relations campaign in a lead-up to the day so that if the provinces choose to regulate these days in different ways or if different employers are going to be somehow exempt from giving people these days off and they can't spend them with their children, at the very least there would be some sort of national plan in place to draw attention to the importance of the day even if the date itself is not the significant part. I think that goes back to the other comments we've made. It's not the date that matters; it's the meaning behind it.
