Member’s Statement 1278-19(2): Daylight Saving Time

Thank you, Madam Speaker. This Monday is the number one sick day in the GNWT; and, no, Madam Speaker, it's not because of some illness it's because the clocks will be turned back.

Madam Speaker, we in this House passed legislation making the switch to a yearround time possible, and the Minister said it would likely only happen after engagement with the public. Well, that engagement has now taken place so I am wondering to find out whether this Sunday will be the last time the clocks ever fall back. I'll have questions for the Minister of Justice, or the Minister of time, later today; see if we can find out the results of that survey and when, if we will indeed, get to say goodbye to trying to remember what time it is when we wake up. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Speaker: DEPUTY SPEAKER
