Families of the Canadian victims who died in the Ukraine International Airlines crash in Iran last month are set to get some additional financial help.

Canada met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif at the Munich Security Conference, and Champagne told a news conference afterward that they made it clear to Zarif what Iran must do.

"I know my heart is going to bleed inside, but I will be strong. I'll do my best."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated that he still expects Iran to compensate the victims' families as well.

"It is my responsibility,'' said one friend. "It's a responsibility of any close friend to help a friend.''

Premier Doug Ford says in a statement that a new government fund will disperse $10,000 scholarships in memory of each of the 57 Canadian victims of the Ukraine International Airlines crash.

More than a dozen universities have said they are grieving students, faculty and researchers who were among the 176 people killed last week in Iran.

"This is the most emotional meeting I’ve ever been in, and I’ve been in thousands of meetings," Premier Ford said.

"They leave behind children, spouses, colleagues and friends who need your support during this life-altering period."

"When she found out, she wanted to go back and get him. And that's still what we're going to try and do and bring something home."
