===National holidays===
All 10 federal holidays are also provincial holidays. A holiday that falls on a weekend is
Every year on a federal holiday, non-essential federal government offices are closed, stock trading is suspended, and every federal worker is paid for the holiday. This typically applies to provincial government offices as well. As a general rule, banks, schools, and businesses may be closed as well; this is not required. However, federal law mandates anyone who works on a federal holiday be paid time-and-a-half. Additionally, if the day was an otherwise working day for the employee, the employee shall receive vacation time equivalent to one full workday to take at another time.
