Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The measure we use to determine the success of the education system in the NWT is partly determined by the graduating students every year and also graduating students from Arctic College.

The department's own statistics show that the number of high school graduates has dropped from 213 in 1980-81 to 162 in 1989-90. Based on those figures, would the Minister say that the current education system is working?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The educational system in the NWT is a relatively new system, especially to the Eastern Arctic communities. The students entering into the system are currently levelling off, whereas in the past there were very large increases every year of students entering into the system. I could show the Member the statistics to show him why there is a drop in students in the last three years.

In my Member's statement today I listed some of the problems that I see with the education system in the North. The fact is that we seem to be getting our kids into the system but we cannot get them in or out of the system with a good basic education. Does the Department of Education have a comprehensive, long-term plan for the NWT education system, especially to improve the number of students that graduate from the system?

I was asked by a constituent to raise this question today, Mr. Speaker, but the Minister to whom I would like to address the question is not here, so I would like to address it to Mr. Kakfwi as the Minister responsible for constitutional development. This is a big issue in my constituency, Mr. Speaker. Has the plebiscite question, which we are expected to vote on sometime in the summer, been written?

The Speaker Michael Ballantyne

Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs, Mr. Kakfwi.

Mr. Speaker, I am aware that a question to be placed on the plebiscite had been drafted some time ago. I am not certain that it has met with the approval of all people concerned. I would have to confirm that later. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister for constitutional development explain to the House what the process is, since it seems to be a complex one? Exactly what is the process that arrives eventually at a completed plebiscite question?

Mr. Speaker, I believe that the question is going to be one that is put forward by the government. There will be some consultation -- but I am not certain what form -- with MLAs regarding the wording, and of course some input from the TFN as the organization in the Eastern Arctic that is promoting the plebiscite. Thank you.

What I meant to confirm, then, is that before the plebiscite question is put, it has to have the approval of this Legislature and not simply the rubber stamp of the government.

Mr. Speaker, I believe that it would be advisable for us politically to get the full involvement of all the MLAs on this exercise. I believe we would be trying to get the MLAs involved in this exercise through the formulation of it, but through legislation it is not required because it is done under regulation of the Elections Act. Thank you.
