STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF MINISTER RON DUHAMEL
Ron Duhamel, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Secretary of State (Western Economic
Diversification) (Francophonie), is currently undergoing additional medical treatment as
a follow-up to the surgery he had two years ago. The Minister was treated for cancer in
1999.
Minister Duhamel has advised the Prime Minister that he intends to continue with his
duties and functions as Member of Parliament, as well as those related to his portfolios,
while he is undergoing treatment.
Once the treatment is complete, at the end of the summer, his doctor will reassess his
condition. Until that time, there will be no further public comment related to Minister
Duhamel's health.
