Newfoundland and Labrador. Offshore oil rigs need safety regulator: Inquiry
Postmedia News November 18, 2010 A report from an inquiry into an offshore helicopter crash that claimed 17 lives last year recommends that an independent regulator be created to improve safety in the province's offshore oil industry. Robert Wells, a retired Newfoundland Supreme Court justice who led the inquiry, said the taxpayer-funded body should have safety as its sole mandate. The inquiry was set up after Cougar Helicopters Flight 491 crashed while trying to return to base in St. John's in March 2009. Only one of the 18 people on board survived.
