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; and3) 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.
