Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is recovering after being treated for prostate cancer.
Mulroney’s daughter, Caroline Mulroney, who is also Ontario’s transportation minister, confirmed the news to CBC.
“My family is heartened by the outpouring of support from across the country,” she said in a press release. She said her father had undergone treatment in Montreal and is expected to “return to normal” in the coming weeks.
Mulroney served as Prime Minister from 1984 to 1993. He brought Canada its free trade agreement with the United States in 1988. Mexico then joined the club under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The agreement was renegotiated and replaced by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) in 2020.
Mulroney also introduced two constitutional accords, the Meech Lake Accord and the Charlottetown Accord, to amend the Constitution and improve relations between Quebec and the rest of Canada. These agreements failed.
