The GNWT is committed to serving the nearly 45,000 residents of the territory through initiatives that support sustainable development, cultural preservation, healthcare, and education. It operates under a consensus government system, where all Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) are elected as independents and the Premier is selected by the MLAs. The government's mission emphasizes strong community services, environmental stewardship, and economic growth that benefits all its residents.
