Senior engineers at Canada’s energy regulator are under investigation by their professional association over their probe of alleged safety code violations at TransCanada Corp., Canada’s second largest pipeline operator.
The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) confirmed to Reuters it is investigating some of its members who work at the National Energy Board (NEB).
The engineers had been investigating allegations of natural gas pipeline safety-code violations at TransCanada, brought to light by a whistleblower.
The same whistleblower, a former TransCanada employee who left the company in September, 2014, told Reuters he complained to the engineering association because he thought the regulator was not moving quickly enough to deal with the allegations.
