Although two crew members were rescued, three others died and one is still missing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"996812\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is with sadness that I acknowledge the tragic loss of these four seal hunters who disappeared in the performance of their duties: the fishing boat owner, Bruno Bourque, captain Gilles Leblanc and the hunter who was also a talented hockey player for the Restigouche Tigers, Marc-Andr\u00e9 Deraspe. The missing hunter is Carl Aucoin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"996813\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois extends its most sincere condolences to the families and friends of these four sailors and to the Magdalen Island community and it commends the two survivors, Bruno-Pierre Bourque and Claude Deraspe.</p>",
