Former Quebec Liberal Cabinet Minister, Claude Bechard, has passed away at the age of 41 after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. Mr. Bechard had just stepped down from his post as a cabinet minister hours before the tragic occurrence. He was a politician with very high potential at the age of 41, he was seen as a possible successor to current Quebec Premier Jean Charest. As a good friend of Premier Charest and a loyal and respected member to the Liberal Party of Quebec, he will surely be missed. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
