Serving the Yukon as Premier is an extraordinary honour, and my Cabinet and I are ready to hit the ground running. Yukoners told us clearly what matters most to them, and those priorities will guide us every day. I’m proud to lead a talented, diverse team of Ministers, each bringing deep experience and a real passion for this territory. Today’s swearing-in is a celebration, but it’s also the starting line. We’re keenly focused on the task ahead: delivering meaningful change for all Yukoners.
