(October 4, 2022, St. John’s) – David Brazil, PC Official Opposition Leader and MHA for Conception Bay East-Bell Island, today issued the following statement.

“On Monday, I was transported to the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s after a medical event in the early morning. I thank the professionals at the hospital for their support at my time of need. I am in good spirits, but will need time to recover. My family and I appreciate the support we have received to date, but at this time I ask for privacy as the recovery process continues,” said Brazil.

“My colleague, Barry Petten, will perform my duties in the House of Assembly until my return. While I focus on recovery, I’m confident my caucus colleagues will continue to raise the issues important to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and hold government to account.”
