    Richard's wife, Maude Carrier, was one of the six Quebecers killed in an attack perpetrated last week by al-Qaida militants.
     
    Earlier this week, Carrier's mother urged Trudeau to keep Canadian fighter planes involved in the war on terrorism the Middle East.
     
    Camille Carrier, whose ex-husband Yves Carrier also was killed, said she was ashamed by Trudeau's pledge to pull the six CF-18 jet fighters.
