boilerplate broken by latest wet-boew/gcweb-jekyll updates: Layout 'page' does not exist.

As of today (2021-02-16), website built with canada-ca-jekyll-boilerplate as template results in empty pages out of the box, see https://anthonyfok.github.io/ for example.

After much head-scratching and debugging, it turns out that wet-boew/gcweb-jekyll, which is fetched as a remote theme, has a breaking change in the 2021-02-15 wet-boew/gcweb-jekyll@f66348c especially where the "page" layout _layouts/page.html was removed...

Please fix soon! Many thanks!

We will discuss this issue at the next Technical review tomorrow. We are planning the documentation to start next week too.

You will need to specify the version into your config.yml file like:

remote_theme: wet-boew/gcweb-jekyll@v1.1.0

FYI -
In the coming days, me and @delisma are going to work together and we will start to documents how to use the GCWeb jekyll.
Within a few week, the GCWeb jekyll theme will be fully in sync with the latest change applied on GCWeb too.
