Whitehorse: Despite all parties publicly calling for efficient, respectful behaviour in the Legislative Assembly, the spring legislative Sitting was still hindered by partisan squabbling, procrastinating grandstanding, and a failure to fully attend to the 2012-2013 Yukon Government budget.

Whitehorse: As the spring legislative Sitting draws to a close, Liberal MLAs Darius Elias and Sandy Silver have identified several key constituent successes.

Whitehorse: Darius Elias, MLA for Old Crow, has been invited to make a submission to the United Nations regarding his community’s experiences with access to food and the Nutrition North Program.

Whitehorse: New home builders are being increasingly stymied by mortgage appraisal rules, says Klondike MLA Sandy Silver, who believes the Yukon Housing Corporation could expand its mandate to help these homeowners.

WHITEHORSE - Darius Elias, Liberal MLA for Vuntut Gwitchin, and Kevin Barr, NDP MLA for Mount Lorne-Southern Lakes, today called for the establishment of an independent Aboriginal liaison position at the Whitehorse Correctional Centre.
