Definitely a 2-seater, didn't see if it was an R22. There was a brief glimpse of the chopper during the extended report on the accident in the 6pm CTV Montréal news: Haugland had posed for photographs before take-off, sporting a cast on his broken wrist following a recent cycling (?) accident. There was also an interview with a cameraman for the French language network TVA who had swapped slots with Haugland.

Edit: a lot of the Montréal media has naturally focussed on the Haugland family rather than the Belangers; Hugh is survived by his father, the former CTV anchor Bill Haughland, his wife and two teenage daughters. Belanger didn't appear to have any children, but is survived by his girlfriend who was mentioned as being at the airport shortly after the crash, along with his long time 'flying partner'.
