Oh, I was mistaken here (Tim caught me on this). That video was merely
of Premier Wab Kinew announcing the proposed change and signing a
document. It was not a video of the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba
signing the proclamation that is needed for the new law to come into
force.

The CBC has an article on Friday's apparent ceremonial signing:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/kinew-daylight-time-proclamation-9.7359052
"Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says time changes are officially over in Manitoba. 
The premier says the proclamation he signed Friday in Selkirk, Man., makes it 
so."

I note the CBC's use of the word "says" twice, presumably due to a similar lack 
of publicly-confirmable details documenting the change.

Looking at the photo of the premier holding up the documents, if I squint at 
the titles I can convince myself that the one on the right could say "Order in 
Council" and the one on the left could say "Décret" (the French equivalent).  
While that can act as a hint to us as to where the actual order should appear, 
the photo as posted is far too blurry to actually discern any actual details.

As far as I know, that proclamation has not been signed yet.
<https://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/statutes/index_procs.php> doesn't record
any signings since September 9.

For what it's worth, that page currently states that it is updated through 
Saturday 26 September; if that is indeed accurate, any proclamation signed on 
Friday 25 September should be there, but this one isn't.  This is not to say 
that it won't appear there soon anyway, but as the documents shown in the CBC 
photo also look a fair bit different from the typical proclamations and OiCs 
posted online, it's worth considering that they could be related documents or 
an earlier/later form.  In any case, public reporting has so far elided the 
specific implementation details we've collectively requested from Manitoba 
Government Inquiry and the Lieutenant Governor's Office over the last week and 
a half, possibly because they've not been available to reporters either.
