“There is no cost associated with abolishing DST, however, the government of Manitoba would be protecting the people of Manitoba from all the negatives associated with changing the time,” Graydon, who now sits as an independent, said in a release on Friday. “While at the same time saving money for MPIC, the health-care system, and aiding the education system by not disrupting the routine of the students, leading to greater learning capacity year round.”

Graydon said hundreds of Manitobans sent letters and signed petitions regarding DST, and said that launching the website allows those people to have a voice.
