Early Engagement

The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) requires companies to conduct engagement activities with Indigenous Peoples, landowners, and other potentially affected stakeholders, early in the planning of the project and continue these activities throughout the lifecycle of the project.

The CER also conducts early engagement and initiates public engagement activities, such as public information sessions on the application review and hearing process. The CER is committed to using transparent processes that are built on early engagement and inclusive participation. The CER also considers the best available scientific information, data, and Indigenous Knowledge in decision-making.

Potential issues identified by landowners, municipalities and other stakeholders during these activities were captured in the Summary Issues Letter and Report and shared with the Commission of the CER and the company.

Details of the CER’s expectation and role in early engagement are explained in our Early Engagement Guide.

The Crown Consultation Coordinator conducted early engagement activities with Indigenous Peoples. This included information sessions that focused on the CER’s role and the hearing process along with identifying potential issues, interests and suggestions.

These were then captured in the Early Engagement Report and shared with the Indigenous Peoples involved, the Commission of the CER and the company.

Participating in a hearing

The level of participation in the hearing process should be based on how much the project will impact your interests.

Intervenors

Intervenors must explain how an application impacts their interests and why intervenor status is required. Being an intervenor requires a time commitment and may involve costs to prepare and submit evidence. This includes submitting written evidence, asking questions about evidence, submitting and responding to motions, and making a final argument. If you would like to become an intervenor, submit your application in the Participation Portal.

Commenters

Commenters may share their views with the Commission in a Letter of Comment that will be placed on the public record. However, commenters can’t ask questions about the evidence or present it in person at a hearing. To submit a Letter of Comment, follow the instructions outlined in the Participation Portal.

The latest details regarding the hearing can be found on the Hearings, Workshops, Information Sessions, and Conference page.

Participant funding

Participant funding is available to facilitate eligible intervenors' participation in this hearing and is administered independently of the Commission and the CCC.

Indigenous Peoples not involved in Crown consultation activities, individuals (such as landowners), and non-industry not-for-profit groups with a direct local interest or expertise on the anticipated effects of the Project that are registering to participate as an intervenor may apply for participant funding. Funding determinations will be communicated after the Commission confirms the list of intervenors.

Indigenous Peoples participating in Crown Consultation activities should already have a funding agreement in place and do not need to follow the process described above. Questions about participant funding can be emailed to pfp.pafp@cer-rec.gc.ca.
