Ontario cabinet minister temporarily steps aside as he deals with depression
TORONTO — Ontario’s minister of northern development and mines is temporarily stepping aside as he deals with depression.
Michael Gravelle said his doctor diagnosed him last year.
“Over the past months I have been struggling with a feeling of uneasiness that I have not been able to shake,” Gravelle said Monday in a statement. “It has become clear to me that it will take some time, effort, treatment and understanding to properly address this illness.”
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne lauded Gravelle for his bravery.
