EDMONTON – A referendum on whether Alberta should end daylight time would cost millions.
Legislature member Graham Sucha says the estimated price tag if a referendum were to be paired with a provincial election would be between $2 million and $6 million.
He says holding a time vote on its own would cost nearly $22 million.
Sucha is chairing a government committee examining a private member’s bill that would put Alberta on central standard time year round, like Saskatchewan.
