Summary
Bill 78 is a Private Member's Bill introduced by Liberal MLA Iain Rankin in the Nova Scotia Legislature on March 7, 2025. It proposes to amend the Time Definition Act, which is the provincial law that sets the rules about what time zone Nova Scotia uses and how time is officially defined in the province. Unfortunately, the full text of the proposed changes was not included in the provided document — only the bill's title, introduction date, and legislative progress information were available. Based on the title and the bill's sponsor, this may relate to ongoing discussions in Atlantic Canada about eliminating the practice of changing clocks twice a year (daylight saving time), though this cannot be confirmed without the actual bill text. The bill was introduced for First Reading in March 2025 and had not yet passed further stages at the time this information was recorded.
