Jeannie Ugyuk was chosen as the Family Services Minister in the 4th Nunavut Legislature. On 7 November 2015, a leadership review of the cabinet was held and as a result of a non-confidence vote a motion was made to remove Ugyuk from cabinet. On 9 November, prior to discussion on the motion, Ugyuk resigned both from cabinet and as MLA and the motion was withdrawn. A by-election was held in February 2016.[http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/stories/article/65674after_ugyuk_quits_nunavut_mlas_puts_hickes_Savikataaq_into_cabinet/ After Ugyuk quits, Nunavut MLAs put Hickes, Savikataaq into cabinet]{{Cite web |url=http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/stories/article/65674nunavut_family_services_minister_flunks_nov._7_leadership_review/ |title=Nunavut's family services minister flunks Nov. 7 leadership review |access-date=2015-11-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151112025612/http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/stories/article/65674nunavut_family_services_minister_flunks_nov._7_leadership_review |archive-date=2015-11-12 |url-status=dead }}
