MEXICO CITY - Former federal Liberal leader Stephane Dion is out of hospital in Mexico after being treated for a severe case of food poisoning.
A spokeswoman says Dion is feeling better after spending two nights in hospital and is set to fly home this afternoon.
Mexican media reported that Dion was attending a climate conference at a university outside Mexico City on Monday when he started to feel ill.
Dion became Liberal leader in 2006 and was replaced by Michael Ignatieff two years later.
He represents the Montreal-area riding of Saint-Laurent—Cartierville and served as environment minister in Paul Martin's government.
