 In the early part of the twenty-first century, discussion was renewed over whether Saskatchewan should change its clocks seasonally to be in synch with other provinces' practice.By extension, the question was raised whether to return to the Mountain Time Zone (which would set clocks backward an hour in winter from their current observation), or to remain in the Central Time Zone (which would set clocks forward an hour in summer from their current observation, effectively enacting double Daylight Saving Time).Premier Brad Wall had pledged to hold a referendum in the 2011 provincial election, but he later decided against it, saying it would be a waste of money since polls consistently showed a strong majority favoured the status quo.
