OTTAWA – Indian Affairs Minister John Duncan underwent heart surgery Tuesday.

A message posted on the Indian Affairs website says the minister underwent heart valve replacement for a congenital heart defect on Dec. 14.

“Minister Duncan is in good health and will be recuperating at home for the next few weeks,” the message reads.
