| Description | Nineteen months after former NDP leader Ed Broadbent quit federal politics to care for his wife, Lucille, she has died after a decade-long battle with breast cancer.
She passed away at her Ottawa home early Saturday at the age of 71.
Broadbent, who was the MP for Ottawa Centre at the time, bowed out of the political arena in May 2005.
In his announcement, Broadbent said that his wife "now spends much of each day in pain." He said he couldn't continue with all the work expected of an MP and meet his "deeply felt obligations to the person who is the love of my life." |
