Opposition parties block ministerial statement on Eagle Gold Mine, citing ‘grandstanding’
"...Whitehorse, YT – Opposition parties blocked a ministerial statement on the Eagle Gold Mine, accusing the Yukon Government of “grandstanding” and failing to answer outstanding questions.
On October 31st, Minister of Energy Mines and Resources John Streicker was set to deliver a statement announcing the completion of a safety berm, additional water storage ponds and efforts to intercept contaminated groundwater following a heap leach failure at the Eagle Gold Mine in June.
The Yukon NDP and Yukon Party both opposed the statement, stating that the Yukon Government is grandstanding.
Yukon NDP Leader Kate White criticized the statements as performative, stating, “all they want to do is grandstand, and the Yukon NDP isn’t having it.”
The Yukon Party caucus reported asking over 30 unanswered questions.
