LN -- wit IRR RT Stevenson presents bill for dates, times A bill to standardize the way dates and times are written has been proposed in Parliament by Ross Stevenson, M.P. for Durham. In presenting his Bill C-338 for . first reading in the House of Com- mons, Mr. Stevenson pointed out that at present when a date is written in numbers, it can be dif- ficult to tell which number is the day and which is the month. "After the year 2000," he stated, "we cansee a situation when the date would be written 02/03/04, and it would be hard to tell which is the day, the month, or the year." He noted that Canadian and in- ternational standards organiza- tions have been pressing for universal adoption of a censistent method for giving dates and times. In accordance with their recommendations, Bill C-338 would have dates when written numerically in the order: year, month, and day. So, for example, November 9, 1991, would be writ- ten 91/ 11/09. Time would be shown on the 24-hour clock system, giving hour, minute, and seconds. Thus, twelve and one-half minutes after six p.m. would be written 18:12:30. Mr. Stevenson explained that at present there is no national legislation or agency with jurisdiction over such matters, and that in some cases such as Daylight Saving the decision is enacted by provincial and municipal governments. "I believe this Bill would end much present confusion," the Durham M.P. told the House of Commons. Craft show Sat.
