Assistant: Well the term "daylight" may be too ambiguous, but there are several options that might be what you're looking for.  The day with the least daylight, including all parts of the day, is June 21st, which is only 9 hours and 56 minutes.  You could also look at the "shortest official day", in terms of the difference between sunrise and sunset.  The difference is 14 minutes and 24 seconds, on December 21st, which is also the shortest day of the year.  The months with the most daylight are June and December.
