The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) launched the OPR Review in December 2021 with an initial notification and a request to let us know how you would like to be engaged. We are now sharing this Discussion Paper (available online at the OPR Review webpage), with questions for your input by April 15 2022. We want to hear from you; your participation will be an important contribution for the review of this regulation.

The CER’s objective for this review is to deliver a regulation that supports the highest level of safety, security and environmental protection, advances Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, addresses transparency and inclusive participation, provides for predictable and timely oversight and encourages innovation.

The OPR Review will build on learnings from years of implementing the OPR, and feedback from Indigenous peoples, regulated companies, landowners and other stakeholders.

Virtual information sessions will be offered to provide you with an opportunity to have additional context and to be able to ask questions to help inform your input.

The following virtual session are being offered. Please let us know if you would like to participate by sending us an email at opr-rpt@cer-rec.gc.ca, with the subject line “Virtual Session” and the date that works for you.
