    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.

From the press release, we are to understand that the creation of this Secretariat will “foster greater clarity, accountability, and consistency in the territory’s pandemic response. The Secretariat will be responsible for border compliance, enforcement, Protect NWT, 811, isolation centers, and personal protective equipment.” Our understanding of the announcement indicates that this Secretariat will be staffed by permanent employees “The Secretariat will be staffed by 150 full-time, part-time, and relief positions. The government is working on a breakdown of how many of those 150 positions will be new hires.” This announcement has raised several concerns from the business community. Thus far, the total cost of a new GNWT division is budgeted at $86m; $23.4m from the Federal Government funding that was earmarked to better prepare our healthcare system. The primary justification for our extensively restrictive regulations, rules, and policies regarding COVID-19 was not to overburden an already taxed health system. Thus, we feel the $23.4m would be better allocated to better preparing the healthcare system, not creating another unnecessary level of bureaucracy. The business community is very concerned about creating a division in the Health and Social Services department six months into a pandemic and five months since our last case.

  • Women Achieve Parity in NWT Legislative Assembly Without Guaranteed Seats
    Feature Women Achieve Parity in NWT Legislative Assembly Without Guaranteed Seats In just one general election the Northwest Territories went from having the least representation by women in its Assembly to the most in the country. Moreover, women MLAs were elected to fill four of six cabinet positions and to be the premier. In this article, the author suggests these dramatic changes are a response, in part, to a significant discussion and debate members of the previous legislative assembly undertook to improve women’s participation and representation in the territory. She reviews the proposal for temporary special measures as a way to build representation, 2019 CanLIIDocs 4025 outlines other recommendations MLAs made to encourage more women to participate in territorial politics, and explains why this environment ultimately led many more women to put their names on the ballot in 2019. Julie Green, MLA hen the revolution finally began, it was swift This change, from being behind to being ahead in and decisive. On October 1, the Northwest women’s representation at the territorial government Territories moved from having the least level, was not a fluke but the result of a consistent W th representation by women (11 per cent) to the most (47 effort of Members of the 18 Assembly to improve the per cent) in a Canadian legislature.
