Spring forward, fall back or no flipping at all? Quebec is mulling what to do with time change.
Justice Minister Simon-Jolin Barrette announced a public consultation Tuesday, saying people can weigh in with their opinions online.
“We want to hear from you on the question of time change in Quebec,” Jolin-Barrette told reporters at the provincial legislature in Quebec City.

The province also hopes to hear how Quebecers from all walks of life currently deal with the twice-annual ritual of winding the clock forward and back, Jolin-Barrette said.
The majority of Canadian provinces abide by the seasonal change, but Yukon and most of Saskatchewan keep their clocks the same year-round.
Quebec Premier François Legault had previously suggested he wasn’t opposed to the idea of scrapping it, but that it wasn’t a priority. Meanwhile, Ontario officials have said they would move on Daylight Saving Time (DST) if neighbouring New York and Quebec did.
Jolin-Barrette says the public consultations will be held online starting Tuesday through December.
