The pilot of the plane that crashed in eastern Quebec was a personal
friend of former federal cabinet minister Jean Lapierre — one of the
seven people on board who were killed in the accident.The family of
pilot Pascal Gosselin on Wednesday expressed its condolences and grief
over the tragedy, which occurred as Gosselin and co-pilot Fabrice
Labourel were attempting to land at Îles-de-la-Madeleine airport Tuesday
before noon. Gosselin’s family said in a statement it had “maintained a
deep tie of friendship” with Lapierre’s family. Also killed in the
crash were Lapierre’s wife, Nicole Beaulieu, his sister, Martine
Lapierre, and his two brothers, Marc and Louis Lapierre.
