This council was to be entirely composed of persons appointed by the Governor in Council. Act In 1899 the Parliament of Canada amended the to increase the size of the council by adding two elected members to it. A further amendment in 1902 added three more Act elected members to the council. In 1908 the was again amended to provide for an entirely elected council of 10 members. Prior to the 1978 general election, Members were elected to the territorial council or Legislative Assembly as independent members. Some, however, had known federal political affiliations. That is what is noted in the ‘Party’ column for those members elected prior to 1978.

    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 December 31, 2020) 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 Government Organisation Act in cabinet than not in cabinet.

I said of the set "There is little doubt that it will stand as an essential reference source for anyone with an interest in the Yukon's constitution­ al past, present, or future." And it has. A wide variety of people from both inside and outside the Yukon, including scholars, politicians, students, history buffs and reporters, have sought and found the information they were looking for in this work. Steven Smyth has now done us the additional service of updating and revising his Yukon CllronologJJ which was first published as Volume 1 of TlIJ! Yukon's Constitutional Foundations. The corrections and additions to the original chronology are, of course, encouraged and appreciated. The greatest commendation, however, is reserved for the effort to extend its coverage from December of 1990 to June of 1999.
