WHITEHORSE — The Yukon Liberals and New Democrats have extended a confidence and supply agreement that the party leaders say will improve housing, health care and education, while advancing reconciliation and addressing climate change.
The original agreement was signed in April 2021 to secure the Liberals a minority government after the party tied with the Yukon Party at eight seats each in the territorial election. "I think Yukoners overwhelmingly, partisan politics aside, people at the end of the day when you go to their door are going, 'Can you folks just work together for us?'" Pillai said."That doesn't happen a lot, it certainly hasn't happened a lot in the last number of decades, but it's happened in the last two years and it's happening now."
Under the previous agreement, which expired Tuesday, the government increased the territory's minimum wage from $15.20 to $15.70 per hour and opened a supervised consumption site in Whitehorse.
