U.S. senators held a hearing on eliminating the twice-annual time change and whether to keep more daylight in the morning or evening hours .

British Columbia passed legislation in 2019 to enact permanent daylight saving time, followed by Ontario in 2020 .

Trump had vowed in December he would “eliminate” the time change, calling it a “ 50/50 issue.

B.C. Premier David Eby said last month he would be willing to go it alone with the time change as provinces become more self-reliant economically.

He said he was not sure how he would proceed after the hearing.

Trump ’s trade war with Canada has further complicated the issue.
