Women Appointed to the Executive Committee/Executive Council
Yukon Legislative Assembly Office ____________________________________________________________________________ Box 2703 (A-9), Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 2C6 Telephone (867) 667-5498 Fax (867) 393-6280 Email [email protected] The Executive Committee and the Executive Council of Yukon (as of March 9, 2019) On February 3, 1970 Yukon Commissioner James Smith announced the establishment of the Executive Committee of the Yukon – the first Yukon ‘cabinet’ to include elected members of the territorial council. 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 in cabinet than not in cabinet.

Discussion Paper for the Select Committee on Whistle-Blower Protection
Yukon Legislative Assembly SELECT COMMITTEE ON WHISTLE-BLOWER PROTECTION nd 32 Yukon Legislative Assembly Discussion paper for the Select Committee on Whistle-blower Protection The Committee The Yukon Legislative Assembly established the Select Committee on Whistle-blower Protection in May 2007. The Members appointed to the Committee were: • Hon. Ted Staffen (MLA – Riverdale North), Speaker of the Yukon Legislative Assembly and the chair of the committee, • Steve Cardiff (MLA – Mount Lorne), • Eric Fairclough (MLA – Mayo-Tatchun), • Hon. Jim Kenyon (MLA – Porter Creek North); and • Steve Nordick (MLA – Klondike). The Committee’s Mandate The motion appointing the Committee instructed it “to report to the House its findings and recommendations respecting the central issues that should be addressed in whistle-blower protection legislation…” The Committee will not draft a Whistle-blower Protection bill. Its role is to assess the central issues and gather views about what should be included in such a bill and report those views to the Legislative Assembly. Other steps will be taken – perhaps even further public consultation – before a Whistle-blower Protection Act is introduced in the Assembly. The Committee’s role, therefore, is a first, but important, step in determining whether Yukon will have whistle-blower protection legislation and, if so, what form that legislation will take. The Discussion Paper The motion appointing the Committee focused on 10 central issues. The purpose of this discussion paper is to explain these central issues in further detail and provide an opportunity for groups and individuals to submit their views on whistle-blower protection legislation to the Committee. What is Whistle-blowing? Employees have a duty of loyalty and confidentiality to their employer and can be disciplined if they disclose information that they should not.
