The document, tabled by Finance Minister Sandy Silver, is the first budget of new Premier Ranj Pillai, who took over the top job from Silver earlier this year.
The 2023 budget includes almost $10 million in inflation relief measures like ongoing utility rebates, school food programs and income supplements for seniors. Silver said there's also $61.4 million for infrastructure including local projects like community centres, recreational facilities, boat launches, fire halls, EMS stations and public works buildings.
"The Yukon Medical Association is confident that our new agreement will make Yukon one of the most competitive and desirable places to practise medicine in Canada."Silver said the Yukon is also funding projects to help address the substance-use health emergency, including the expansion of the safe supply of opioids in the territory.
Earlier this year, Pillai's minority government signed an extended agreement with the third-party New Democrats, allowing the Liberals to maintain power.
Trudeau and Freeland could learn from this.
