Former federal justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says she will be starting treatment for breast cancer. In a post on social media, Wilson-Raybould said the treatment comes following recent surgery. "While this is scary and unsettling, I take strength from the many of you who have shared your stories of resilience & healing with me over the years," Wilson-Raybould said. In her post, Wilson-Raybould encourages people to get regular mammograms and get tested for other cancers and illnesses. Wilson-Raybould spent three years in then-prime minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal cabinet before she resigned and was re-elected to her Vancouver riding as an Independent in 2019.
