Regulated industry engagement
The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is committed to enhancing Canada’s global competitiveness by improving transparency, predictability, and efficiency throughout the regulatory lifecycle, while driving innovation that contributes to the transition to a low carbon economy. The Government of Canada has also signaled its commitment to global competitiveness through the preamble of the Canadian Energy Regulator Act. These commitments will be fulfilled through ongoing dialogue with regulated companies, which will support CER and industry innovation to meet the changing needs of Canadians and the energy sector.
The CER prepares the Meeting Minutes based on discussions at the meetings. Any views and opinions expressed may not reflect the views of the CER or other companies whose representatives were present.
