Currie Dixon, the leader of the Yukon Party, was quick to pay tribute to Jack Cable on Thursday morning. The longtime Liberal politician
and former Commissioner died Wednesday.
“My colleagues and I are saddened to hear of the passing of former Yukon Liberal Party leader Jack Cable,” Dixon said.
“Known as ‘Gentleman Jack,’ he was respected by members of all parties during his tenure as a member of the Yukon Legislative
Assembly for Riverside from 1992 to 2000.
“His conduct and demeanor in the assembly were a reminder of what we should aspire to and enabled him to work constructively with
others,” Dixon added.
