First Nations appeal Alberta Energy Regulator decision to suspend monitoring requirements | CBC News
First Nations in northern Alberta have filed an appeal against the Alberta Energy Regulator after it issued sweeping decisions last month to suspend a number of environmental monitoring requirements across the oil and gas industry.
The Athabasca Chipewyan, Fort McKay and Mikisew Cree First Nations say the two decisions, made without consultation, have clear consequences on the regulator’s ability to identify and mitigate impacts to their traditional territory.
The changes started in Alberta, with Ontario following soon afterwards. Now, the federal government and most provinces have made changes related to environmental protection that they say are temporary. But most of the provinces are using COVID-19 as an excuse and hoping you will believe it.
