The Yukon has a smaller land area than most other Canadian provinces.

An elliptical clause is a clause where at least one of the words is implied. In the above-mentioned sentence, the verb is implied as what the writer is really saying is: The Yukon has a smaller land area than most other Canadian provinces have.
