| Description | When Canadians next go the polls, Ed Broadbent's name won't be on the ballot. The former NDP leader is not seeking re-election.
Broadbent, 69, told a news conference Wednesday that his wife's declining health was the paramount reason for his decision.
"Some of you have been aware that my wife Lucille has had an intensified health problem since this past Christmas. She now spends much of each day in pain," a sombre Broadbent explained to reporters.
"I simply cannot continue in the future with all the work expected of an MP and meet my deeply felt obligations to the person who is the love of my life." |
