Black boxes from Iran crash should be sent to France -Trudeau

Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa that France was one of the few countries with the ability to read the plane's so-called black boxes, which he said were badly damaged.

Iran says it shot down the Ukrainian airliner last week by accident. A total of 176 people died in the disaster, of which 57 were Canadian.

Trudeau also said that Canada will give families of victims who are Canadian citizens C$25,000 for each person who died.
