While the Canadian Standards Association has adopted ISO 8601 as CSA Z234.5:1989, its use is not mandated in every situation. Thus in Canada three date and time formats are in common use. According to the Canadian Payments Association, which regulates cheques, the big endian ISO 8601 YYYYMMDD is preferred, but MMDDYYYY or DDMMYYYY may be used, and cheques must include date indicators showing which format is being used. If using only two digits, not only the month and day can be confused with each other, but so also can the year. In Canada 07/04/01 could represent the 4th of July 2001, 1 April 2007, or several other dates. The federal government tends to use the big endian format, but some federal forms, such as a commercial cargo manifest, offer a blank line with no guidance. Passport applications〔 〕 and tax returns〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canadian Income Tax Form ) 〕 use YYYY-MM-DD. English language newspapers use MDY (MMM() D, YYYY).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=canada.com website, with links to newspapers in many Canadian cities )〕 In Quebec a variation of DDMMYYYY is used. Government of Canada regulations for expiry dates on foods mandate YYMMDD, MMDD, and DDMMYY. The month is shown using the following bilingual codes. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Date and time notation in Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
