The Quebec Government Says It Plans to End the Time Change
The party says it will consult experts before choosing permanent daylight or standard time, after 91% of respondents backed ending the switch.
- The Parti plans to table a bill in the coming months to abolish Quebec's twice-yearly time change, though clocks will still turn back on Halloween night this Saturday.
- An online public consultation launched in 2024 by the Coalition Avenir Quebec government found 90 per cent of participants favored ending the time change, matching earlier support where 91 per cent of approximately 214,000 respondents backed the move.
- Parliamentary committee hearings will allow the party to consult experts on adopting permanent daylight time or standard time. Simon Jolin-Barrette previously noted that expert opinions and alignment with neighboring states must be considered.
- Several provinces including British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories have already ended clock changes. Ontario passed legislation to do the same, provided Quebec and New York follow suit.
- Parti leader St-Pierre Plamondon has long argued the practice is counterproductive to health. The premier previously wrote on Facebook that this year is likely the last time the province will impose these "unnecessary constraints" on parents and children.
