Abolishing daylight savings time has been a topic of discussion for quite some time, and now we may be getting closer to an answer. Québec’s Ministère de la Justice is seeking public input.
That’s right—Quebec has launched a public consultation, open until December 1st, inviting residents to share their opinion on whether daylight savings time should be abolished. The consultation involves a simple form asking whether people prefer winter or summer time.
Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette noted that the biannual time change has various negative health effects.
“It’s becoming an issue because, as I understand it, the original reasons for changing the time twice a year—primarily related to energy and resource management during wartime—are no longer as relevant today,” he explained.
For now, most Canadians will turn their clocks back one hour early on the morning of Nov. 3 and set them forward again on March 9, 2025.
