Patrick Faber, Former Minister of Education
"I have always stand with the teachers."
Protestor
"Okay, you stand with the teachers now, but why when you were in charge you do not stand with the teachers and we have to strike?"
Patrick Faber, Former Minister of Education
"I have always stand with the teachers. You check the record, always stood with the teachers."
Protestor
"The last time when you ran through this area, you said that you were not there participating with the teachers, but you showed up on your own. So you never always stand up with the teachers."
Patrick Faber, Former Minister of Education
"I am the one who gave the teachers the cert Ed program, ensure that they..."
Protestor
"So since you're in a opposition, how do you think that government can assist us teachers?"
Patrick Faber, Former Minister of Education
"By giving you what you're asking, it's fair. It's a fair demand."
