The Liberal Party praised McPhee for her role in modernizing legislation. She supported boosting funding to the RCMP to create the Car 867 program, staffed with a mental-health nurse, and the Sexualized Assault Response Team (SART). She oversaw the creation of a health authority, the walk-in clinic, and the mental wellness unit at the Whitehorse General Hospital.((“Health and Justice Minister McPhee won’t run in upcoming Yukon elections.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 12 September 2025.))
