Trudeau said he made the demand in a call with Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, who admitted earlier Saturday that the airliner was mistakenly shot down by Iranian missiles. Additional team members – two transportation investigators and 10 consular representatives who will help with the victims’ identification and repatriation – will follow, he said, adding that the Iranians were working on granting visas.By Ottawa’s count, 57 Canadian citizens, many of them dual Iranian nationals, were aboard the Ukraine International Airlines flight when it crashed Jan 8 shortly after takeoff from Tehran’s airport.
“Yes, I’m furious that there are Canadian families that have lost their parents, their children, their spouses,” he said.Asked whether Ottawa would demand that Tehran pay financial compensation to the families of Canadian victims, Trudeau indicated that it would.
