proposed tz changes for Haiti, Sri Lanka, and Canada

[Jesper Norgaard Welen]

Dr. Hingston has a point. The Vanc rule is not not used after 1986, so it
would be clearer to write

Rule	Vanc	1962	1986	-	Oct	lastSun	2:00	0	S

instead of

Rule	Vanc	1962	2006	-	Oct	lastSun	2:00	0	S

since from 1987 the Canada rule takes over for Vancouver.
This is just one of those "cleanup" issues, it won't affect
any timezones either way.

Hi



I wonder if it matters that 



+Rule   Vanc    1962    2006     -           Oct      lastSun 2:00     0
S



finishes 2006 instead of 1986, to match the April Rule, and change to Canada
rules 1987?

Yes, thanks for catching those typos.  Arthur, can you please apply those
fixes?  Alternatively, here is a revised patch that incorporates them, and
which applies to tz-2006c.
