Small plane crash kills ex-minister, six others off Canada island

Apparent unfavorable weather conditions have brought down a small plane in Canada’s eastern Quebec, killing all the seven people, including a former minister, on board.

Former Canadian Transport Minister Jean Lapierre (seen below) had chartered the Mitsubishi aircraft, which was flying from the St-Hubert regional airport south of Montreal to the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence when it crashed on Tuesday.
