MONCTON – New Brunswick Premier David Alward spent the night in a Moncton hospital after becoming ill with flu-like symptoms.

A spokeswoman for the Progressive Conservative party says Alward and his wife Rhonda became ill Sunday while campaigning.

Dominique LeBlanc says Alward spent Monday night in the Georges L. Dumont University Hospital.

She says he was released Tuesday shortly before participating in the taping of leaders’ debates to be televised on CBC-TV and Radio-Canada.

The election is Sept. 22.
