The fall session of the Nunavut legislature wrapped up on Tuesday with the public release of a broad and ambitious three-year plan for the government.

Premier Eva Aariak has given her government until 2013 to complete the goals of the action plan, which is based on the government's priorities set out in Tamapta, its 20-year vision report.

Among other things, the action plan promises to:

• Create a poverty reduction strategy.
• Develop a quality of life standard for the territory.
• Open an addiction treatment centre.
• Improve the government's information systems.
• Establish government services offices in all communities.
• Produce a new communications strategy, which will include setting up a public information hotline.

Aside from the 2010 end date, the action plan has no timelines, but Aariak said a schedule will become clearer as the government works through its budget process early next year.

Aariak said she is also confident her cash-strapped government can get the work done.

"We will have to be very creative and innovative in meeting some of our plans," she told CBC News on Tuesday. "Of course, we are always looking for extra funding from outside sources."

Justice Minister Keith Peterson acted on one aspect of the plan on Tuesday by creating a ministerial task force to review the Liquor Act.

Aariak said all of Nunavut's 10 government departments will be involved in working on the action plan.

"We will, on a regular basis, be making sure that we are advancing the action plan as a cabinet. As well, we have a very interested group of regular members," she said.

Before the legislature adjourned on Tuesday, MLAs passed 11 bills that include a new Lottery Act and the government's capital expenditures for the next year.

The assembly also passed Nunavut's first private member's bill, which proposes creating an Order of Nunavut award.

The assembly will reconvene in March.
