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.

Fast was first elected to represent the B.C. riding of Abbotsford in 2006.

He is currently the Conservative critic for the environment.
