Legislation

In November of 1998, the federal government transferred responsibility for oil and gas to Yukon. The Yukon Oil and Gas Act PDF 1.5 MB came into effect at that time.

Currently the Act is in the process of being amended. The public consultation period, which began July 29, 2009, concluded on September 14, 2009.  The Government of Yukon thanks all those who provided input during the consultation period.  To learn more about the proposed amendments, next steps in the amendment process, or to view consultation submissions, visit the Oil and Gas Resources consultation web page.
