Without specifying the number of casualties, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that members of the Royal Canadian Air Force were killed on June 20 in a helicopter crash near a town northwest of Ottawa.
Initial reports from the Department of National Defence (DND) said the crash left two military members injured and another two missing.
Speaking to reporters that morning in Ottawa, Trudeau said there would be “significant investigations” to determine the cause of the crash and added that he was still receiving information from Canada’s chief of the Defence Staff, Gen. Wayne Eyre.
Trudeau spoke to reporters again in the afternoon and said he has expressed his “condolences to the families and colleagues of the members killed.”…
