Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau spoke Thursday about the forensic report into the downing of Ukrainian Airlines Flight 752 by Iran in 2020, saying the report highlights the "recklessness, incompetence and wanton disregard for human life," and adding his criticism of how Iran has covered up information on the crash.
Canadian Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra publicly condemned Iran's actions and said the report shows Iranian civilian and military authorities are "fully responsible" for the plane's downing.
Asked what he says to families who may be disappointed in the report, Garneau said he, Alghabra and former Public Safety minister Ralph Goodale had met with the families of the victims and it was "perfectly understandable" they may be feeling a sense of disappointment, but said the report was to try to draw the "most accurate picture" of the events based on information available.
Flight 752 was shot down on Jan. 8, 2020, killing all 176 people on board including 55 Canadians and 30 permanent residents.
