Sources: Portail du Gouvernment du Québec and Canada public holidays. A provincial bill, currently under consideration and introduced by Quebec's Labor Minister, David Whissell, would change the rule that moves the date of Quebec's fête nationale (the Saint Jean Baptiste public holiday), from June 24 to June 25 if the 24th is a Sunday, so that the date of this public holiday would remain fixed to June 24, in all cases.Analysis: It is unlikely that this law would be passed and take effect soon enough to affect this year's Saint Jean Baptiste public holiday, which does fall on a Sunday. So we are maintaining our published date of Monday, June 25, 2007.
