Why do ek.get_timeseries intraday data start at 13:31:00 for Canadian equities?

Hi,

I recently tried downloading intraday data using eikon.get_timeseries for some Canadian equities. However, the data returned by eikon appear to start at 1.30 pm instead of 9.30 am or earlier.

Here is my code:

xiu = ek.get_timeseries('XIU.TO', start_date='2020-05-18T00:00:00', end_date='2020-05-25T23:59:59', interval='minute')

xiu_to_min.head(100)

For comparison, I tried the same query for the US's SPY. The data for the US start as expected at around 08:01:00 every day:

So I'm wondering if something unusual with eikon's intraday data for Canadian equities?

Thanks,
