    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

  • Des Documents Parlementaires Insolites À L'assemblée Législative
    evue canadienne V olume 42, No. 1 Retour sur 200 ans à Province House 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SPRING 2017 En 1930, sir Richard Squires en était à la moitié de son deuxième mandat non consécutif comme premier ministre de Terre-Neuve quand son épouse, lady Helena Squires, a été élue députée de Lewisporte à la Chambre d’assemblée de Terre-Neuve. Non seulement était-ce la première fois qu’une femme était élue députée de Terre-Neuve, mais c’était également la première fois dans l’Empire britannique que l’épouse d’un premier ministre en exercice était élue députée et siégeait en même temps que lui. Pendant le premier mandat de sir Richard à titre de premier ministre (de 1919 à 1923), lui et lady Helena ont tous les deux mis des bâtons dans les roues de la Ligue des suffragettes. Ce n’est que lorsque sir Richard a été chassé du pouvoir que son prédécesseur, sir Frederick Alderice, a déposé et fait adopter une loi qui donnait le droit de vote aux femmes en 1925. Il est bien ironique que la première femme à prêter serment comme députée ait été l’épouse de sir Richard. Le court mandat de lady Helena n’a pas suscité de remous. Selon le hansard, elle n’est intervenue que quelques fois à la Chambre d’assemblée. La carrière de son époux, par contre, a soulevé de vives controverses. La Grande Dépression, des allégations de corruption et l’émeute subséquente d’avril 1932 ont forcé le premier ministre à dissoudre le gouvernement.

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.
