This period witnessed a devolution of power from the federal government to the Yukon government that resulted in a shift of the day-to-day political tensions and disputes in Yukon moving from a federal-territorial orientation to a territorial-local one. Two key themes are consistently present in Yukon’s political and educational history.

  • A Focus on Electoral Reform
    Canadian eview Focus on Electoral Reform. CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/WINTER 2016 1 Made of copper and gold-plated, Ontario’s Mace was crafted in Ottawa in 1867. It is the third Mace to be used in the province’s history since the establishment of the Legislature during colonial times in 1792. The province’s first Mace was captured by American soldiers during the War of 1812 and later returned, and the second – dating from around 1845 - ended up in the federal parliament following Confederation in 1867 and was subsequently destroyed during a 1916 fire. Sitting underneath the crown within decorative leaves, the cup of the current Mace features the insignia of King Edward VII. The original cup bore the initials V.R. for Victoria Regina and was recently rediscovered among the collection at the Royal Ontario Museum. It is now on display in the Legislative Building lobby. In 2009, the first two diamonds mined in Ontario were mounted into the crown of the Mace. One was left in the rough to represent the mining process, and the other was polished to signify the value of the diamond industry in Ontario. The polished diamond was inscribed with the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s motto Audi Alteram Partem – “Hear the Other Side”.

The first Executive Committee was sworn in on November 29, 1970 following the general election of September 8, 1970. Hilda Watson, the Member for Carmacks-Kluane, and Norm Chamberlist, the Member for Whitehorse East, were the first two elected members appointed to the first five-member Executive Committee. Following the Epp Letter of October 9, 1979 – which created responsible government in Yukon – an Executive Council was created on October 22, 1979. All Executive Committee appointments were revoked on that day and all members of the Executive Committee were appointed to the Executive Council. Unlike the Executive Committee, the Executive Council was modeled on cabinets at the federal and provincial levels. The Executive Council would be led by a Government Leader (later, Premier) rather than the Commissioner, and would be responsible to the Legislative Assembly. The Epp Letter stipulated that “There shall be at no time a majority of members of Council [MLAs] appointed to the Cabinet or Executive Council.” This stipulation maintains a principle of responsible government; that in order for cabinet to be responsible to the Legislative Assembly there must always be fewer elected members Government Organisation Act in cabinet than not in cabinet.
