CER Overview
GOVERNANCE
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors oversees the CER at the level of governance and strategic advice and direction, and is focused on results and outcomes.
CEO
The CEO is responsible for the management and daily operations and affairs of the organization, including the supervision of its employees and their work, and has the responsibilities of a deputy head.

CONTEXT
Preventing harm is at the heart of what a regulator does. People count on us to keep them safe, to protect the environment, to prevent market inefficiencies and to listen to what they have to say so that we can make informed decisions and recommendations in the Canadian public interest.
We do this using a whole-system approach based on evidence, input and data, and a commitment to effective and efficient infrastructure delivery. We share information and operate transparently in order to build public confidence in the regulatory process.
EXPECTED RESULTS
- Energy adjudication processes are fair, timely, transparent, and accessible.
- We prevent harm to people and the environment throughout the lifecycle of energy-related activities.
- Canadians have access to relevant energy and pipeline information for knowledge, research or decision-making.
- Feedback provided by stakeholders and Indigenous peoples informs our decisions and our work.
- The right governance, resources, management systems, programs and services are in place to deliver on our program results.
