Can paid stat holiday counted towards hours worked?

I just checked that on one of my pay stubs I was paid for 7.5 hours on Remembrance day. Can I count those hours towards the full-time hours calculation for that week? Without those hours I have worked only 29 hours for that week!!!

Technically, since I was paid for it those hours should be counted isn't it?
