Who investigates air accidents?

When a tragic incident like the one at Montreal airport occurs, several official bodies step in. In Canada, the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is responsible for investigating accidents and making recommendations to improve safety across air, marine, rail, and pipeline transportation. Quebec's workplace safety board also investigates, focusing on the safety aspects for workers.
