Last Updated Sunday, January 12, 2020 7:12PM ESTOTTAWA -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it's been "gut-wrenching" to listen to stories from relatives of 57 Canadians who perished in the downing of a Ukrainian jetliner in Iran last week.
He also spoke of a successful dentist in Iran who had moved with his family to Canada but returned often to Iran so he could pay for courses to become a dentist here. He received his qualifications a few weeks ago. "It's so comforting for us," said Mortazavi. "As long as we know that someone cares for these people, that's so important for us."
Three members of Canada's standing rapid deployment team arrived Saturday in Iran to establish a base of operations for the Canadian government in the wake of the crash.
