Yukon’s 11th premier was sworn in Friday on the promise to get important work done before the next election that must be called within months.
Mike Pemberton told a crowd after the ceremony in Whitehorse that he wants to set out a new framework for mineral legislation in partnership with First Nations, and the work needs to continue “to clean up the mess at Eagle Gold” to protect the environment.
