2022–23 Annual Report of the Commission of the Canada Energy Regulator – Appendix B: Application Activity
The following charts include those applications that are subject to a routine application assessment process (where no one other than the applicant has expressed interest in providing input) and those applications where the CER has established a public hearing process for receiving input from people other than the applicant as part of its assessment process.
An application under the CER Act may be submitted with requests under several parts of the CER Act or Regulations. Each application submitted is counted only once in the table as received and only once as having a decision or recommendation issued. The two visualizations below show the application activity for the CER for the fiscal year 2022–23.
