Thank you for the question.
Generally speaking, the National Energy Board carries out inspections and verifications based on the activities of companies, their history, the risks involved, the questions that remain unanswered, as well as certain incidents or activities of the company. For instance, after the Kalamazoo River spill in Michigan, which involved the Enbridge company, the board inspected the operations centre. Inspectors examined all of the aspects of protocols, activities, policies and so on.
This is based on questions asked by the members of the National Energy Board. That said, if the board examines a given issue, the protocol requires that it publish the results and its report. However, once again, it would be up to my colleagues from the National Energy Board to verify what their protocol is exactly in the case of an investigation, as well as its conclusions.
Here, however, we have to examine the bill with additional precision, to see what the responsibilities and powers of the National Energy Board are. We are now working in this area and there is a great deal of activity. So we have to see what the bill says.
