  • The 2008 Nunavut Territorial Election
    The 2008 Nunavut Territorial Election Annis May Timpson [email protected] Centre of Canadian Studies University of EdinBurgh www.cst.ed.ac.uk Paper presented to the Canadian Political Science Association Conference Carleton University 29 May 2009 Not for citation without permission of the autho Nunavut’s third territorial election was extraordinary. Candidate registration was lower than in any previous Nunavut election and on 27 October 2008 ballots were cast in only 15 of Nunavut’s 19 constituencies. In South Baffin (Cape Dorset and Kimmirut) no candidate stood for office by the candidate registration deadline of September 26, making it necessary for Elections Nunavut to schedule a subsequent by‐election on 3 November.1 In Cambridge Bay and Rankin Inlet North, the incumbent members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) ‐‐ Keith Peterson and Tagak Curley ‐‐ were acclaimed.2 In the constituency of Akulliq (which combines the communities of Repulse Bay and Kuagaaruk), the election was postponed until 15 December, following a legal appeal by Jack Anawak about the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer to declare him inelligeble as a candidate, under the 2002 Nunavut Election Act, on grounds that he had not lived in Nunavut for twelve months prior to the election.3 Significant developments occurred in the three Iqaluit constituencies discussed later in this paper. There was a tense, closely fought race in Iqaluit West between Premier Paul Okalik and Iqaluit’s mayor, Elisapee Sheutiapik. Although Okalik retained his seat in the Legislative Assembly by just 44 votes. There was a complex campaign in Iqaluit Centre, following a formal complaint to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police by one candidate’s father about the eligibility of another candidate.

I have been personally overwhelmed by the support expressed by my colleagues, the constituents of Apex and Iqaluit, the many Elders and Nunavummiut. However, after close consultation with my family, I have decided that it is time for us to open a new chapter in our lives,” said Picco. Picco was first elected to territorial office in the Northwest Territories general election of 1995. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut in the general elections of 1999 and 2004. He served in a number of Ministerial portfolios, including Health and Social Services, Education and Energy. He also served as Government House Leader and Minister Responsible for Homelessness and Immigration. Picco introduced the First Tobacco/Anti-smoking program and legislation in Nunavut, was the catalyst behind the start of Nunavut’s Nursing program and introduced the recently passed, Bill 21, the first Nunavut Education Act. The expansion of the men’s Homeless Shelter and the opening of the Akausisarvik mental health facility, construction of the regional health facilities as well as the Baffin Regional Hospital all occurred under his Ministerial leadership. Picco also guided the development and start-up of the Nunavut Power Corporation later to be known as the Qulliq Energy Corporation.
