“The government should sit down with teachers and work out a deal. I don't want to see a general strike. I don't want to see people not returning to work. It's the premier who has to show some leadership and step up to the plate. He missed an opportunity again today.”
“I did see some things that were missing in this throne speech. I didn't hear anything about health care, probably the number one issue that I heard in my travels around the province. I didn't hear anything about affordability for tuition for students in this throne speech.”
