Like most Yukoners, I have had a busy summer. While touring the Yukon this summer, I met with several Chiefs and Mayors, attended community barbeques and helped with the Dawson City Music Festival. While doing so, I appreciated the many opportunities I had to hear what matters to you. These conversations always remind me of why I entered politics – to make sure that Yukoners are put first.

Mr. Silver:   Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Premier. On March 11, 2013, the government told Yukoners a new design for F.H. Collins was being chosen and an old design was being scrapped. The decision was announced by the Premier and a news release said, and I quote: “The approved construction budget, as detailed by two separate independent estimators, was $38.6 million.”

Sandy Silver was a financial contributor to this important campaign launched today in Dawson.

Here's an excerpt from a research paper on the Peel Watershed done at the University of Saskatchewan

"We argue that the Yukon Government failed to effectively reconcile different perspectives and values through the decision-making process."

The Yukon government knew that the original design for the F.H. Collins school replacement project was likely to cost $43.7 million, not the $38.6 million budget it used to justify cancelling the project.
