The search for 16 oil workers missing after their helicopter crashed into the Atlantic off Newfoundland has now been called off.
Officials say it is unlikely the missing workers could have survived.
Rescue officials say the mission is now one of recovery.
A spokesman says the search ended after 34 hours, adding that it has gone beyond the 24-hour life expectancy time for someone in a survival suit.
One body was recovered and one man was rescued. He is listed in critical but stable condition in hospital.
The case now goes to the Transportation Safety Board.
The lead investigator says plans are already underway to lift the helicopter to the surface some time next week.
It is about 120 metres down and a remote submersible equipped with cameras will be sent to the ocean floor, possibly as soon as today, to examine the wreck.
