Thank you, Mr. Chair.
On a personal note first of all, Mr. Pushor, let me apologize for the way you were treated differently from all other witnesses at this committee. It's usually not done that way.
Mr. Pushor, you're the president and CEO of the Alberta Energy Regulator, a quasi-judicial body acting at arm's length from any government, set up this way to make sure we engender trust in the way we develop our resources in Alberta.
I recall your appointment four years ago, and it was received in Alberta among the industry and among people as being refreshing. We were looking for you to fix what was a broken regulatory system at that point in time. Communities and industry had found, prior to your arrival, your organization to be aloof, non-communicative, and I will say unresponsive to everybody who came your way, and this is all based around trust, so communities need to have trust in the regulator, especially when it's a quasi-judicial arm's-length body. I would say that trust, as we've heard from so many witnesses through this testimony, is not there.
The first person I've heard who said you actually have reached out to them on many occasions is Mayor Bowman here, and thank you for that, but every other organization says they don't trust your organization. Therefore, after four years, do you feel you're succeeding in fixing what has been a broken organization for a decade?
