Sure. Thanks for the question, and also thank you for your kind comments. We do make great efforts within our organization to be a collaborative participant in any consultation that's happening under Minister Tassi's mandate. You and I have had a lot of interaction in these early days as a result.
When I reached out to members about this issue, I have to say that the response was quick and it was very positive. This issue around financial planning was one of the issues that was raised. Much of the budgeting and planning that gets done for an organization—everything down to the fine detail of shift scheduling for the year ahead and determining human resources needs, particularly in operational environments—gets done well in advance. I heard from some of our members that this planning is complete for 2021, as a result, and we're not far away from January 1. It would be somewhat disruptive to have to unfold all of that and then layer in a paid holiday at this point, so I think it would be appreciated among our member community if at least the paid portion of this holiday were delayed to 2022.
That's not to say that the national day could not be set aside in 2021. We will do all we can to be supportive of it, but if the portion of it that actually kicks in the paid part and makes it a paid statutory holiday could be extended to 2022, that would make our lives a lot easier and would certainly be appreciated.
