The Royal Society of Canada Expert Panel: Environmental and Health Impacts of Canada’s Oilsands Industry by Dr. Pierre Gosselin et al, December 15, 2010
The ERCB is the primary regulator which must make the public interest recommendation to the Alberta Cabinet. In it’s previous form as the Energy and Utilities Board (EUB), it experienced a serious incident damaging its public credibility as an independent quasi-judicial board. Because of this incident, a new acting Chair was appointed the EUB to implement recommended changes and oversee the splitting of the EUB into the ERCB and the Alberta Utilities Commission effective January 1, 2008. The acting chair also disbanded the EUB security Unit, accepted the resignation of the EUB senior executive in charge of security and revoked the EUB decisions made on this file.
