Thank you very much for that question, a very interesting and timely one.
It could be phrased as regulatory excellence. We see other energy regulators referring to it as world-class regulatory capabilities, or best in class, so we are very interested in working and maintaining close communications with other energy regulators. Some of the energy regulators may be national, such as ourselves. There are some such as Alberta, for example, which is a very busy regulator within the context of provincial regulation. There are others such as British Columbia or Saskatchewan and others around the world as well.
We're interested in the principles that make a regulator excellent, and we're participating in some of these round robin benchmarking types of exercises. One could anticipate that there are common principles involved, such as the trust of the public, for example. It's very important for a regulator to have that, through demonstrated excellence and, in our case, the safety and reliability of the systems we regulate. We need to be fair in our public hearings and we need to be lawful in all of our activities. I think it would be looking for a common language around what excellence is. As the NEB is absolutely committed to continuous improvement, we pursue these things quite actively.
