A re-elected Liberal government will have a full legislative agenda to address the ongoing priorities of Yukoners. Legislation introduced in the spring sitting, including a new modernized Workers’ Safety and Compensation Act that enhances worker safety and compensation systems in the territory, will be on the next legislative docket.  The Yukon Liberal platform lays out an ambitious legislation plan to keep Yukoners safe, address climate change and build our economy.

The Yukon Liberal Party believes that the agriculture sector is vital to the territory. We need to do more to ensure local food is available and that farmers are supported. That is why a re-elected Liberal government will continue to support our growing agriculture sector.
