Canada is one of several countries taking part in the investigation of a Ukrainian Airlines jet which was shot down by an Iranian missile.
The crash near Tehran last week killed 176 people including 57 Canadians.
Transportation Safety Board chair Kathy Fox says they’ve been asked to examine the wreckage.
She says they’ll also be involved in the download and analysis of the plane’s black box.
“A thorough, safety-focused investigation offers the best chance of confirming what really happened and providing the answers that everyone is asking for, particularly for the families who have lost so much,” notes Fox.
More details will come as the investigation progresses but Fox says not all information will be released in order to maintain the confidence of other aviation authorities involved.
