Dear Tracy:

On behalf of the Board of Directors (Board), I want to congratulate you on your appointment as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER). I would like to take this time to offer my sincere gratitude to you for taking on the role of Acting CEO, and for your commitment to the organization since joining in 2011. Your strong leadership has been instrumental in ensuring that the organization has continued to run smoothly, and you have provided stability and compassion in uncertain times.

The Board and I look forward to continuing working with you to advance key strategic work underway. We are confident that, with your wealth of knowledge, expertise, and extensive experience at the CER, you are well placed to lead the implementation of the organization’s strategy, run its day-to-day business and affairs, and lead the CER’s exceptional staff.

As you know, the CER is in the final year of its inaugural, three-year plan focusing on four Strategic Priorities: Trust and Confidence, Reconciliation, Competitiveness, and Data and Digital Innovation. We have also recently finalized our Strategic Plan for 2024–27, which builds on these priorities. We are delving deeper on topics such as our continued focus on Reconciliation as an enduring priority, and our potential role in energy transition and competitiveness. We look forward to utilizing your expertise in implementing this new strategic plan.

While you are very familiar with the organization, this binder provides several documents to support your onboarding including:

• Our Board of Directors Governance Manual
