Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Learning Disabilities Association of the NWT states that the 1986 census reports 44 per cent of NWT residents over the age of 15 are illiterate; 72 per cent over the age of 15 are aboriginal people; and each year in the Northwest Territories, between 700 and 800 students leave school before graduation. My question to the Minister of Education has to do with "assessments must be done before programs can be prescribed." I would like to know from the Minister, where are these educational assessments conducted especially for the Western Arctic?
