There were three phases of public engagement on the legalization of cannabis.

Phase one

Phase one consisted of a public engagement survey, which was available online from August 10 to September 30, 2017. The results of the survey were released on November 9 in a document called What We Heard.

Phase two

The Government of Yukon released its Proposed Framework for Legalized Cannabis on November 20, 2017. Phase two of the engagement invited Yukoners to provide feedback on the proposed framework by December 20.

The Government of Yukon is facing financial challenges. Over the past ten years, revenue growth of 1.7 per cent a year has not kept pace with spending growth of 2.5 per cent a year. To support building a healthy financial future, the Yukon government assembled an independent Financial Advisory Panel to provide the government with options for future financial planning.

Starting Tuesday, September 12, these draft options will be shared with Yukoners. You are invited to participate in the discussion about the pros, cons, and considerations of pursuing the various options.

Proposed changes to the Lotteries and Games of Chance Regulation will allow charitable organizations to run progressive raffles such as Chase the Ace for fundraising activities. We're asking for input on the proposed changes to the Regulation.

The Government of Yukon is considering changes to the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act pertaining to mobile home tenancies and sought input from mobile home owners, tenants and park owners.

We wanted to know your input on two general issues: the ability of a park owner to evict mobile home owners without cause, and whether there should be controls on how the mobile home park owner can raise pad rents.

The Government of Yukon is proposing to change the Regulation in the Parks and Land Certainty Act to limit the time campsites may be left unoccupied, and to increase the fine for not adhering to this rule.

The Government of Yukon and the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board are asking Yukoners to complete a survey about grizzly bear conservation and management. 

The Government of Yukon sought public input about the possibility of declaring National Aboriginal Day a statutory holiday in Yukon. The engagement took place from May 16 to July 16, 2017.

It's important that the government website works for you. This survey was intended to help us find out what information Yukoners need, as well as the tasks they expect to accomplish on a government website.

The Government of Yukon wishes to amend the Legal Profession Act, with the goal of tabling a bill during the fall legislative session.

The current Act has not kept up with changes to the way the legal profession is regulated in other Canadian jurisdictions, and needs flexibility to deal with the way the legal profession has changed over the last 20 years.

We are conducting an online survey to gather feedback from Yukoners on the school calendar. Our goal is to set school calendar dates for the next four years so that all school communities can more easily plan for school and holidays. 

We want to know your thoughts on:

• when school should start and end;
• the dates for Christmas and March break; and
• the length of the school day, school year and summer break.
