Nurses in Yellowknife and across the Territory have been expressing dissatisfaction with the structure of the current collective agreement. Many nurses feel that they are unique employees within the NWT healthcare system, and they want to form a collective bargaining component that recognizes the particular challenges and needs of the nursing profession.

On March 13, 2025 I put forward a Motion and tabled a Draft Bill to Amend the Public Service Act to enable Nurses in the NWT to get their own Collective Agreement with their employer.
