ECC has engaged with the Canada Energy Regulator to discuss ways to improve the efficiency of the CER's audit process.
ECC has participated in Natural Resources Canada's consultation on the Indigenous Ministerial Amendments Regulation, which closed on March 31, 2026.

Given the emergent national discussion associated with the need to build Canadian energy infrastructure in response to U.S. tariffs and political instability, ECC is developing its recommendations to rebuild investor confidence in Canada's pipeline industry.
