Yukon Nominee Program reopens for applications from pre-approved businesses
The Yukon Nominee Program is now accepting applications from businesses that expressed interest this past spring and have been pre-approved. The government said it received 502 eligible expressions of interest from employers, and 392 of those "aligned" with the government's priorities for this year. Employers were prioritized if their nominee candidates were Yukon University graduates, French-speaking or have lived in the Yukon for a year. Selected businesses will now be invited to apply for the program via email, the government says. Those who were not selected will also be notified. Applicants with a temporary measure letter of support will be prioritized for approval, the government says. The remaining spots will be randomly selected. There are 215 nominee spots allotted to the Yukon for 2025. The Yukon government changed the application system after the program's popularity began surpassing the number of available spots. The nominee program is restricted to the number of nominees allowed by the federal government. This past spring, the Yukon government announced that businesses would be required to express interest and get approved based on a list of pre-set priority areas.

Committee approves Trump DOE, Interior nominees
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted Wednesday to advance four of President Donald Trump's energy and environment nominees. Senators voted mainly along party lines on Jonathan Brightbill to be the Department of Energy's general counsel, Tina Pierce to be DOE's chief financial officer, Conner Prochaska to direct the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy and Ned Mamula to lead the U.S. Geological Survey. The panel held a hearing with the nominees last week, in which senators grilled them about Trump's proposed budget cuts, among other priorities. Advertisement Chair Mike Lee (R-Utah) said the picks would help the United States compete on the world stage. 'Our adversaries are building. They're hoarding critical resources and weaponizing energy policy,' he said.

Robust action this week on energy, environment nominees
The Senate is moving to fill out lower-level openings at the nation's top energy and environment departments after confirming President Donald Trump's Cabinet. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has moved to wind down debate on Interior Department deputy secretary nominee Katharine MacGregor and Department of Energy deputy pick James Danly. That means votes on them are imminent. MacGregor would reprise her role from the first Trump administration. Danly chaired the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission during Trump's first term. Advertisement 'We're going to have a lot more nominees coming out of committee. And I want to make it very clear that we're going to process those nominees in a timely fashion,' Thune said during recent remarks, apparently referring to Democratic delay tactics.

Senate moves to take up MacGregor, Danly nominations
The Senate is moving to take up two of President Donald Trump's most senior pending energy and environment nominees. Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) moved Thursday to wind down debate on Katharine MacGregor for Interior deputy secretary and James Danly for the same position at the Department of Energy. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved both on a bipartisan basis in April. Ranking member Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) was one of their supporters. Advertisement 'I am sure that I will disagree with many of the decisions that Mr. Danly and Ms. McGregor make. I have worked with both of them before, but they are knowledgeable about these agencies, and they will help lead,' Heinrich said.
