The father of a man from western Quebec, who died Thursday in a landslide at a quarry in La Pêche, Quebec, decrypts the time needed to recover his son's body.
Daniel Dompierre was operating an excavator in the road 105 quarry when the landslide occurred around 10 o'clock.
His father, Marc, told Radio-Canada Saturday afternoon that the wait for the closure was unsustainable.
"I just want to have the army, or someone who could help find a way out my guy from there, that's all," he said in an interview in French.
According to the MRC des Collines-de-l'Ottawa police, emergency teams were able to briefly reach Dompierre's body on Thursday to confirm that the 31-year-old man, Bouchette, in Quebec, was dead.
However, they had to withdraw because of the precariousness of the site. They are now waiting for an engineer's report on the stability of the site before trying again.

An approaching body could undermine the investigation
The police announced Thursday that she was investigating this incident in collaboration with the CNESST, the supervisory body for occupational safety in Quebec.
Authorities said anyone who approached the body without permission could be accused of obstructing a police investigation.
According to Marc Dompierre, if there was no threat, he would dig the soil with his bare hands.
"He would have come out of there 40 hours ago, there was no one to stop me from having my boy," he said in French.
Neither the police nor the CNESST were willing to be interviewed on Saturday.
