Help Shape Canada's Energy Regulations for 2025-2028
Official title: Regulatory Framework Plan
The Canada Energy Regulator is planning which pipeline and energy rules to update over the next three years. They want ongoing feedback on their priorities. This affects how pipelines are built, operated, and eventually shut down across Canada.
Why This Matters
Live near a pipeline? Work in the energy sector? These regulations affect safety standards, environmental protections, and how companies interact with landowners. The CER is also working on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples—your input could shape how that happens.
What Could Change
New or updated regulations could change how pipeline companies report incidents, manage emergencies, and prevent damage. Guidance documents may be revised to clarify what companies must submit for approvals. The CER is also preparing for the energy transition, which could mean new rules for emerging energy infrastructure.
