    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.

Toutefois, il a fallu attendre 1996 pour voir la première équipe père-fille siéger ensemble au sein d’une assemblée législative au Canada. En effet, lorsque Sue Edelman a été élue députée de la 29e Assemblée législative du Yukon, elle a rejoint son père, Ivan John « Jack » Cable, qui venait d’être réélu. M. Cable est allé vivre dans le Nord en 1970 après avoir obtenu des diplômes en génie chimique, une maîtrise en administration des affaires et un baccalauréat en droit en Ontario. Il a exercé le droit à Whitehorse pendant 21 ans, avant de devenir président de la Chambre de commerce du Yukon, président de la Société d’énergie du Yukon et directeur de la Commission de l’énergie du Nord canadien. Il est également membre fondateur de la Recycle Organics Together Society et du Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. M. Cable a fait son entrée en politique en 1992, après avoir été élu député de la circonscription de Riverdale (Whitehorse-Est) à l’Assemblée législative du Yukon. La carrière politique de Mme Edelman est déjà bien entamée lorsque son père commence à siéger comme député. En 1988, elle est élue conseillère municipale de Whitehorse, un poste qu’elle conserve jusqu’en 1994.
