Legislative Assembly of Nunavut
The Legislative Assembly of Nunavut, Canada, is located in Iqaluit, and is the territory's parliament.
The Legislative Assembly was opened by Queen Elizabeth II, as Queen of Canada, on 7 October 2002, during her Golden Jubilee tour of Canada. In her speech the Queen stated: "I am proud to be the first member of the Canadian Royal Family to be greeted in Canada's newest territory."〔Kay, Christine and Kearsey, Tara, ("Royals start tour in Iqaluit" ). Northern News Services, 7 October 2002.〕
Prior to the opening of the Legislative Building of Nunavut the members met in the gymnasium of the Inuksuk High School.
The Hansard of the assembly is published in Inuktitut and English, making the territory one of only three Canadian jurisdictions to produce a bilingual Hansard, along with the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Parliament of Canada in Ottawa.
There are no political parties in Nunavut and the territory operates by consensus government. Approximately two weeks after an election, the newly elected legislature meets in a special session called the Nunavut Leadership Forum to select the Executive Council, or cabinet.
==Current members==
There are currently 22 seats in the legislature. The current assembly is the fourth in the territory's history, and had its membership selected in the 2013 election. Two electoral districts did not have their results finalized on election night, due to an exact tie between two candidates necessitating a judicial recount or a follow-up by-election. Recounts were held in both districts, and Samuel Nuqingaq was declared the winner in Uqqummiut.〔(Nunavut recounts produce one winner and one intractable deadlock ). ''Nunatsiaq News'', November 5, 2013.〕 A by-election was held in Rankin Inlet South on 10 February 2014,〔(Elections Nunavut: Rankin Inlet South voters go back to the polls Feb. 10 ). ''Nunatsiaq News'', November 14, 2013.〕 with Alexander Sammurtok declared the winner.〔("New Nunavut MLA ready to work “for the people”" ). ''Nunatsiaq News'', February 11, 2014.〕
Nuqingaq was expelled from the legislature on October 24, 2014 after repeatedly engaging in disorderly and inappropriate conduct,〔("Nunavut MLA Samuel Nuqingaq expelled from legislative assembly" ). CBC News, October 24, 2014.〕 vacating Uqqummiut and resulting in a by-election which was held on February 9, 2015. The by-election was won by Pauloosie Keyootak.〔("Pauloosie Keyootak elected MLA for Uqqummiut in byelection" ). CBC News, February 10, 2015.〕
