Opposition parties blasted the idea as little more than a blatant attempt to win over voter support in the election.

Statutory holidays (also referred to as general or public holidays in many statutes) are days of special significance that have been
established by governments to commemorate or celebrate certain events, usually of a religious or historical nature. Every jurisdiction in
Canada provides for a number of statutory holidays, of national or regional importance, through its employment or labour standards
legislation. Employees who meet qualifying requirements are entitled to a paid holiday or, if they are required or agree to work, to the
payment of wages at a premium rate for work performed.
