Time changes have to be done by November 1!
The ones already legislated or the others that may appear?
While there is no direct reply to the Manitoba change on Microsoft's
time blog they were able to push out Morocco on very short notice.
There is a long history of changes that were announced and changed the
clocks on the wall immediately. I expect that there will be at least one
after November 1st this year (hopefully "effective March" but short or
after the change notice happens). Nunavut legislature does not sit until
October 22nd and Cambridge Bay at UTC-07 will create a time island
between two UTC-06 zones on November 1st. Will they pass legislation
effective in March and spend the next four months with Cambridge Bay out
of sync with Northwest Territories (and Rankin Inlet out of sync with
Manitoba)?
Only time will tell.
In the past I have estimated like: to meet Nov 1 - use [M/C/E]ST ~$100k;
- use PCT/ABT/MBT ~$1M and hire a bunch this week!
Consider it an unfunded mandate. Or an unfunded jobs program.
