Co-development of an Indigenous Collaborative Mechanism
The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is committed to a renewed relationship with Indigenous Peoples based on the recognition of rights, respect, co-operation and partnership. This initiative provides an opportunity for Indigenous communities and the CER to co-develop a collaborative mechanism relating to pipeline compliance and oversight of the NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. system (NGTL System).
Continuing to advance the shared path to Reconciliation this initiative builds on the steps the CER has taken over the past few years to enhance Indigenous Peoples’ involvement in compliance and oversight and seeks to establish a cooperative way forward, in partnership with Indigenous communities.
