Members' Handbook

The Members’ Handbook has been prepared to serve a resource for Members of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut.

The Handbook provides comprehensive information concerning the structure and operations of the Legislative Assembly, in addition to the allowances and benefits that are available to Members.

The Management and Services Board of the Legislative Assembly is the institution’s governing authority. The Board is established by the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act. The Board is responsible for providing services to 
Members; administering Members’ indemnities, allowances, expenses and benefits; and providing for the management and operation of the Office of the Legislative Assembly. From time to time, the Board approves directives and policies concerning matters under its jurisdiction. In the event of an inconsistency between information contained in this Handbook and a Board-approved directive or policy, the latter prevails.

Members are encouraged to contact my office at any time concerning the contents of this Handbook.

John Quirke
Clerk of the Legislative Assembly
