Editing Greenwich Mean Time (section)

=== Other countries ===

Several countries define their local time by reference to Greenwich Mean Time.<ref name="AMANO">Dumortier, Hannelore, & Loncke (n.d.)</ref>{{sfn|Seago|Seidelmann|Allen|2011}} Some examples are:
*[[Belgium]]: Decrees of 1946 and 1947 set legal time as one hour ahead of GMT.<ref name="AMANO"/>
* [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]: "Standard Time" ({{Langx|ga|Am Caighdeánach}}) is defined as being one hour in advance of GMT.<ref name=IST>{{cite web| title= STANDARD TIME ACT, 1968; Section 1 | publisher =Government of Ireland |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1968/act/23/enacted/en/print.html }}</ref> "Winter Time" ({{lang|ga|Am Geimhridh}}) is defined as being the same as GMT.<ref name=IWT>{{cite web| title= STANDARD TIME (AMENDMENT) ACT, 1971; Section 1 | publisher =Government of Ireland |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1971/act/17/enacted/en/index.html }}</ref>{{efn|The net effect is that Ireland and the UK are in the same time zone.}}
*[[Canada]]: Interpretation Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. I-21, section 35(1). This refers to "standard time" for the several provinces, defining each in relation to "Greenwich time", but does not use the expression "Greenwich mean time". Several provinces, such as [[Nova Scotia]] (Time Definition Act. R.S., c. 469, s. 1), have their own legislation which specifically mentions either "Greenwich Mean Time" or "Greenwich mean solar time".
