Actually,  Labrador is in the same time as Quebec
(ie. Atlantic time with New Bruneswick, Nova Scotia,
and Prince Edward Island) and has been for a long
time.  However,  several years ago Labrador City was
in the Eastern time zone - I believe this was for
convenience of the owners of the ore company which
was operated from Quebec (perhaps people commuted
a lot). So, for a while, there were three time zones
in the province.

PS  St. Pierre et Miquelon stays in Atlantic time
    all year round - no daylight savings time.
