Help Shape Canada's Energy Regulations for 2025-2028
Official title: Regulatory Framework Plan
The Canada Energy Regulator wants your input on which energy rules to update over the next three years. They're planning changes to pipeline safety, environmental requirements, and how companies report to them. This is your chance to flag what's working and what needs fixing.
Why This Matters
Energy regulations affect everything from pipeline safety near your community to how quickly new energy projects get approved. If you live near pipelines or care about Canada's energy transition, this shapes the rules companies must follow. Indigenous communities have a direct stake in how these regulations respect their rights.
What Could Change
The CER plans to update regulations on pipeline safety, environmental protection, and company reporting requirements. New guidance documents will clarify what energy companies must do to get approvals. Changes aim to support the energy transition while advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
