Does Canada have a registration look up, or accident reporting web site?

Wow, that is bad news.  But it sounds like Jim had sold it and was not on board?  My propeller started its life on that plane - feels kind of eerie....  Terrible loss for the pilots and their families.  Also not good for rotary aviation movement. 
 
I know that I would be very hard pressed to ever sell my RV-6.  There are just too many quirks to turn it over to someone else.
 
Any chance of getting an expert to inspect the wreckage?
 
Ed, you know Jim pretty well, right?  Know any more details?
