Katrina Nokleby, the infrastructure and industry minister, faces removal from cabinet just six months into her time in office.

Steve Norn, the Tu Nedhé-Wiilideh MLA, introduced a motion on Wednesday calling for Nokleby – the MLA for Yellowknife’s Great Slave – to be stripped of her position as Minister.

In a short statement, Norn said there were “concerns about the Member for Great Slave’s performance as a cabinet minister.”

In this assembly, we were promised change.  We were promised that MLAs would work together.  In unprecedented times, the NWT needs to focus on keeping the Territory strong instead of petty political infighting.
