Whitehorse Daily Star: Procurement policy prompts testy exchange

The new First Nations procurement policy being introduced by the Yukon government is stirring controversy and questions from the opposition in the legislature.
The Yukon Party has been pressing the government for a week on how it’s developed the policy, and how it consulted with business and other levels of government before introducing it.
On Monday, the question sparked a feisty exchange between Richard Mostyn, the minister of Highways and Public Works and the Public Service Commission, and Stacey Hassard, the official Opposition leader in the legislature for the Yukon Party.
Hassard has been regularly prodding the government as to whether businesses and municipalities were participants in the process. He said he’s been receiving calls from people concerned that the policy was dictated and not developed.
