Halifax -- Days before the fourth anniversary of the Swissair crash, families of those killed are surprised to learn Ottawa has distributed a draft report on the crash investigation's findings.

But relatives of 229 people who died in the accident off Nova Scotia may also get copies of the confidential document, a Transportation Safety Board spokesman said yesterday.

Earlier this month, the board sent the report to "involved parties" for comment.
