He says the province joins eight other jurisdictions across Canada that observe the holiday.
Gallant says the day highlights the importance of families, and provides a break during the long winter.
Opposition critic Kirk MacDonald says it will take more than an extra paid holiday to get the Liberals re-elected.
Green Leader David Coon says he’s worried that an extra paid holiday will be difficult for small business owners.
