Plane trouble has forced Canada's foreign affairs minister to cancel a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Washington, D.C.
Lawrence Cannon was scheduled to sit down with Clinton Friday to discuss the international relief effort in Haiti, among other things. Yemen, Afghanistan and Arctic co-operation were also on the agenda.
Instead, officials with the Department of Foreign Affairs said Cannon will speak with Clinton by phone and hold a news conference in Ottawa.
They said "technical problems" forced the cancellation of Cannon's scheduled commercial flight.
Clinton is scheduled to attend a foreign ministers meeting that Cannon will host in Montreal Monday to discuss reconstruction efforts in Haiti.
