STANDOFF, Alta. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he will remember former Alberta premier and former Conservative MP Jim Prentice as a man of deep convictions.

Trudeau says he was sad to learn Prentice died Thursday night in a plane crash north of Kelowna, B.C.

Three other people on the plane were also killed.

Trudeau told reporters during a stop in Standoff, Alta., today that he and Prentice didn’t always share the same views.
