Manitoba Liberal MP Jim Carr to receive stem cell transplant to treat blood cancer

Liberal MP and former cabinet minister Jim Carr is returning to hospital for a stem-cell transplant.

Carr was diagnosed after experiencing flu-like symptoms in the final weeks of the 2019 federal election campaign.

The Winnipeg MP had headed into that campaign as the Liberals’ international trade diversification minister, and was one of only a handful of Liberals re-elected in the Prairie provinces in October.
