“Today, with the completion of the search and rescue mission, I and all of Canada mourn the loss of six members of the Canadian Armed Forces staff in the helicopter incident near Greece earlier this week,” said the first Minister Justin Trudeau in a press release. BTA
“Our thoughts go out to the families and loved ones of these Canadian heroes and to the Canadian Armed Forces, saddened by this tragedy,” added Trudeau.
