NWT MLA Michael Nadli Sentenced To Jail For Assault, Can't Sit In Legislature

The Canadian Press, 16 Oct, 2015 10:30 AM
    YELLOWKNIFE — A member of the Northwest Territories legislature has been sentenced to 45 days in jail for assault.
     
    Michael Nadli, the member for Deh Cho, was charged last April in Fort Providence.
     
    At the time RCMP said they received a call for help and responded to a home, where a person was found and sent to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
     
    Mounties say a suspect later turned himself in to police.
     
    The clerk of the legislature says the jail term automatically disqualifies Nadli from sitting as a member of the assembly.
     
    The clerk says a byelection will not be necessary because the government is to call a general election on Oct. 26.
