Premier Rachel Notley says Alberta’s NDP government stands opposed to any attempt to move the National Energy Board out of Calgary.
A report from a federally-appointed review panel released Monday called for the NEB to be split into two agencies, the Canadian Energy Transmission Commission (CETC) and the Canadian Energy Information Agency (CEIA).
It recommended that the CEIA, along with the CETC board of directors and some of its staff, be located in Ottawa, suggesting that the NEB’s location in Calgary — the heart of Canada’s oilpatch — had led to a perception the regulatory body was too cozy with the oil industry.
