Also in 2002, she defended the provincial government's controversial decision to spray Malathion in the Winnipeg area, as a means of controlling the city's insect population during an outbreak of the West Nile Virus.In 2003, she supported Bill Blaikie's campaign to lead the federal New Democratic Party.Friesen did not run for re-election in 2003, and formally stepped down from cabinet on June 25 of that year.
