B.C. Finance Minister Brenda Bailey diagnosed with 'early-stage, treatable cancer'
Bailey said she has an early-stage cancer and a good prognosis, and Premier David Eby is temporarily shifting cabinet duties.
- On Thursday, British Columbia Finance Minister Brenda Bailey announced she has been diagnosed with "early-stage, treatable cancer" and will undergo treatment this summer.
- Bailey has worked with Premier David Eby to find the best path through treatment while continuing government work, with plans to return before the fall legislative session.
- On Monday, Bailey delivered a fiscal update revealing British Columbia's deficit ended $3.3 billion below previous estimates due to higher revenues and lower capital project spending.
- Other NDP legislators have recently faced health challenges, including Grace Lore, who disclosed a colorectal cancer diagnosis in December 2024, and MLA Joan Philip, whose illness prompted Premier Eby to seek prayers in April.
- Bailey says she has been given a good prognosis for full recovery, with officials set to provide additional details on Friday about her treatment plan and timeline.
