British Columbia Finance Minister Brenda Bailey said she has been diagnosed with early-stage cancer.
“A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with early-stage, treatable cancer and given a good prognosis for full recovery,” Bailey said in a statement Thursday. “I will be receiving treatment later this summer and anticipate returning to work in time for the fall legislative session.”
“Since I was diagnosed, the Premier and I have been working to find the best path to get through treatment and continue the work of this government,” said Bailey.
She said more information will be released Friday.
The fall legislative session is scheduled to begin Oct. 5.
