Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Education in regard to the question he answered on assessment. I would just like to qualify it and say that Dr. Kinloch from the Department of Health briefed me on the assessment going on in Fort Simpson Hospital, and in that discussion he pointed out that assessment was a big concern there. This is correct, there is a great concern in the community of Fort Simpson, as well as in the region, in regard to assesssing children in the eduation system. He even said that approximately 25 per cent of the students in my region need to be assessed. The other day when I asked the Minister about that, he said that approximately 25 per cent of the students in my region need to be assessed, and that the assessments take place in Yellowknife or Edmonton. Today he states the assessment is done by the Department of Health or Social Services and Education and the school boards do not have funds. I would like to ask the Minister if there is a co-ordinated effort on the part of the government to provide adequate assessing of students in the NWT.
