The regular members of NunavutSA国际影视传媒檚 legislative assembly issued a warning to cabinet members in a letter to Premier Joe Savikataaq dated May 22.

SA国际影视传媒淎s a caucus, members have identified a number of ongoing performance issues with the executive council. As premier, you have a central role in addressing these issues for the benefit of our government and the territory at large,SA国际影视传媒� states chairperson of the regular membersSA国际影视传媒� caucus John Main in the letter, released publicly May 29.

SA国际影视传媒淭his letter is intended to encourage corrective action by clearly defining the expectations being placed on the executive.SA国际影视传媒�

Main adds the letter is not targeting any one particular minister.

All MLAs agreed not to hold a mid-term leadership review after the October 2017 election when they met together in Pond Inlet in early 2018. Rather, they opted to hold each other to task on a regular basis. This decision would open the door for the ousting of Paul Quassa as premier, Main reminds Savikataaq.

Main also reminds Savikataaq that the regular membersSA国际影视传媒� caucus is responsible for SA国际影视传媒渆ffectively holding the government accountable to the people of Nunavut.SA国际影视传媒�

SA国际影视传媒淚 must advise you that there is a growing dissatisfaction on the part of my caucus colleagues with the approach taken by a number of ministers. Rather than responding in a clear, candid and comprehensive manner to membersSA国际影视传媒� questions posed during sittings of the house and meetings of standing committees, a number of ministers do the opposite,SA国际影视传媒� Main states.

He adds that behaviour is unacceptable.
