About Solomon Malliki
Solomon Malliki is an important leader in Nunavut. He helps make decisions for the people living there. Nunavut is a large territory in northern Canada. Its government works a bit differently from other places.

Working in the Legislative Assembly
The Legislative Assembly is where laws are made for Nunavut. Members of the Assembly, like Solomon Malliki, discuss important issues. They vote on new laws and decide how the government should run.
In November 2024, Solomon Malliki raised some concerns about the leader of Nunavut, P.J. Akeeagok. He suggested that the leader was not communicating well with other members. Malliki brought forward a "motion of no confidence." This is a special vote to see if most members still support the current leader.
The vote showed that P.J. Akeeagok still had enough support to continue as leader. Ten members voted to support him, while eight members voted against him. This shows how important it is for leaders to work closely with everyone in the government.
