The U.S. Government adopted a new plan on Tueday that will save energy
by increasing daylight savings time by two months. The plan, once
implemented, will begin in March and run into November. Having Canada
and the United States out of sync could prove to cause many headaches
for industries such as transportation and banking. During the 1974-75
oil crisis the U.S. did not observe daylight savings time in order to
conserve energy, causing problems for many industries and business
people that depend on cross-border communications. Daylight savings
time is administered provincially in Canada – Saskatchewan does not
observe it – so the potential for problems increases even more.
Leaders in British Columbia are yet to comment on their plans.
