Thank you for the question.
I don't know exactly why the Legion doesn't agree. I know that many Legion members are in favour of amending the act through my bill. In my opinion, some people think it institutes a national holiday, which is unfortunate, since that isn't the case. Honestly, it's a much more modest bill. I believe that some people feel that the time isn't appropriate and that students should stay in school. I understand it, although I disagree.
Otherwise, I don't question the motives people may have to oppose my bill, but I think it's very important to have accurate information.
