The circumstances surrounding Brazeau’s injury were not disclosed, but the Sûreté du Québec said it was not investigating the matter as a criminal case.

Brazeau arrived at the hospital about 1 a.m. Tuesday, according to Côté.

“Shortly after that he underwent surgery,” she said. “It went well.”

Later, Côté said Brazeau was out of danger but would remain in hospital “for a certain time” to recover. She wouldn’t say what kind of surgery the senator had, or why he needed it.

The Sûreté du Québec, meanwhile, said its officers went to Brazeau’s home in the community of Mayo, northeast of Buckingham, about 10 p.m. Monday.
