The commission is refusing to apologise to the families of the nine people who died in the 2010 crash, despite admitting problems with its investigation.
It allowed some of the plane wreckage to be buried shortly afterwards, limiting its ability to investigate, and last week said its original finding was probably wrong.
Associate Transport Minister Craig Foss met with the commission today.
He agreed there was no need to apologise as they had followed all the correct processes and procedures.
He had absolute confidence in the commission, he said.
