Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education. Mr. Speaker, on March 24, 1992, I asked a question of the previous Minister about whether there is any assistance for evaluating the aboriginal programs in the schools. I told the Minister about the situation where students who are supposed to be learning their language in the schools are not able to speak and understand that language. I received a response in writing from the Minister who advised that children are tested within the schools on their understanding of the language they are learning and on the other subjects in the curriculum. However, Mr. Speaker, I was not questioning whether children are tested in the schools. What I was trying to find out is whether there is an evaluation of the aboriginal language and culture programs themselves. Are the programs really working? Can the Minister advise whether the Department of Education has developed any process for ongoing evaluation of aboriginal language and culture programs delivered in the schools in the Northwest Territories?
