Four days after former Alberta premier Jim Prentice died in an unexplained plane crash in B.C., Minister of Transport Marc Garneau is asking his department to look into adding black boxes to smaller planes that aren’t currently required to have them.
The Cessna Citation carrying Prentice and three other passengers did not have voice or data recording devices on board, nor was it required to carry either of the devices under current regulations.
Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigators have said that their investigation into the crash will be challenging without the devices.
