OTTAWA — Conservative MP Ed Fast is recovering from a stroke.

The former international trade minister suffered from the medical emergency Saturday at his home in Abbotsford, B.C.

His office says he is in “stable condition” and “expected to make a full recovery.”

His family is asking for privacy so that he can focus on getting well and returning to his parliamentary duties as quickly as possible.
