	Yukon & NWT Premiers Join Call to Suspend the Federal Gun Control Program
		Yukon Premier Dennis Fentie and NWT Premier Steven Kakfwi have jointly called for Ottawa to reconsider their gun registry until the effectiveness of the program can be audited and a true sense of the program's effectiveness can be determined.
		Fentie re-affirmed that the Yukon government would not contribute to the enforcement of the new federal gun legislation.
		The Premiers identified the need to effectively deal with the criminal use of firearms and to ensure the safety of Canadians, but not by creating legislation that does not deliver positive results at a cost to taxpayers that is not realistic.

	Nunatsiaq News
		The premiers of Canada's four western provinces and three territories told Prime Minister Paul Martin last week that Ottawa should transfer land and resource management powers to Nunavut and the Northwest Territories as soon as possible.
		Unlike Yukon and the 10 provinces, Nunavut and the NWT do not own or control non-renewable resources within Crown lands.
		That means it's the federal government that has the right to regulate and tax mining and oil and gas development in the two territories, on all lands except those lands owned by aboriginal groups through land claims agreements.

	Mercury Studies Team, USGS : Mercury Cycling in Aquatic Ecosystems
		Methylmercury is produced in the multitude of intra- and lateral-stream sloughs and wetlands of the Yukon River, and the annual flushing of these sub-ecosystems during spring runoff regulates observed fluxes of MeHg in the River itself.
		Methylmercury levels in the Yukon Basin are generally low, and are reflective of abiotic methylation in the atmospheric and subsequent deposition of MeHg.
		Annual flooding and flushing of the Yukon Basin wetlands by snow and glacial melt water enriched in particulate mercury stimulates methylation due to the combined influences of inundation and mercury loading.
