Nunavut MLAs say there is a lack of transparency about how petroleum products are purchased for the territory.
MLAs have delayed two bills related to fuel supply and fuel purchasing to be reviewed in the spring sitting in June.
MLA for Iqaluit-Manirajak, Adam Arreak Lightstone, called the bills very complex and significant, which is why they need more time to go over the legislation.
