Mr. Chair, before we start with witnesses, could I have the floor?
I wish to table a notice of motion, to the effect:
That the National Energy Board be convened before the Standing Committee on Natural Resources for two hours prior to March 31st, 2015 to explain: 1) why the deadlines to apply for the Financial Aid Program (February 23rd , 2015) and for the status of Intervener or Commentator (March 3rd 2015) in the NEB Hearing Process for TransCanada's Energy-East Project were established despite the fact the TransCanada Energy-East Project route does not appear to be final; 2) what measures will be implemented by the National Energy Board regarding who can participate in the event TransCanada modifies its project; and 3) how will the National Energy Board act to ensure that Canadians have access in both languages to all the information provided by TransCanada as it relates to the Energy-East project.
I have a copy in both English and French to pass to the clerk.
