In my opinion, Ms. May, nobody was equipped to respond effectively to the flood event.
The challenge is that the Canada Energy Regulator didn't play much of a role in the Trans Mountain activities, because the company, on its own, decided to stop the flow of oil. It wasn't mandated by the CER. Therefore, the CER didn't have authority or jurisdiction. It worked with Trans Mountain as a willing partner, as opposed to a federal regulatory body overseeing a pipeline. Then other provincial regulators stepped in, like the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission, and Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations.
