Volume One of the Report of the first stage of the Commission of Inquiry into the Investigation of the Bombing of Air India Flight 182 was tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, December 11, 2007.

“This preliminary report focuses on the human element arising from the bombing – the accompanying suffering of the victims’ families, the heroism of the rescuers and the generosity and warmth of the citizens of Cork, Ireland. The enormity of this mass murder may be grasped by attempting to know more about the victims and their grieving survivors.” – from the Introduction to The Families Remember

About the Commission of Inquiry into the Investigation of the Bombing of Air India Flight 182

On May 1, 2006, an Order in Council was issued defining the terms of reference for the Commission of Inquiry into the Investigation of the Bombing of Air India Flight 182, which occurred on June 23, 1985. The Honourable John C. Major, Q.C., was appointed Commissioner under Part 1 of the Inquiries Act. In September 2006, the Government of Canada launched the Commission of Inquiry into the Investigation of the Bombing of the Air India Flight 182 in order to provide answers to questions that remain unsolved. The Inquiry is to be conducted in two stages. During the first stage, the Commissioner will hear voluntary testimony from the families of the victims. Stage two will deal with matters set out in clause (b) of the Order in Council. Mark J. Freiman is the Commission’s Lead Counsel. Michel Dorval is the Commission’s Co-Counsel. The office of the Commission is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The first stage, reflected in Volume One of this report, is now complete. Following the conclusion of the hearings, Commissioner John Major will issue his final report, which will contain both findings and recommendations, in spring 2008.
