And we also got a chance to speak with Patrick Faber - who Saldivar defeated in a leadership race a few days ago. Again, this was before we got the text message transcript, but here’s what Faber said about Saldivar’s resignation:
Hon. Patrick Faber - Minister of Education
"Well as I've often maintained, John and I are friends, so it does bother me to see what has now become his faith but as you have pointed time and time again on your now extended news cast, Saldivar is a fighter and he's one who keeps coming back. I think they had said that about Clint, so I wouldn't count him out altogether just yet. I believe he is the kind of person who will do whatever kind of introspection he needs to do and he will come back. I mean, I should know, I have been his opponent several times and I know that he doesn't give up."
And along that line, today’s release from the Prime Minister’s office says “Saldivar expressed the hope of regaining the confidence of the public and the support of Cabinet once he has cleared his name,†which, again, will take some doing in light of what we have seen today.
