The National Energy Board publishes reasons for decisions when it expects its decisions to influence actions beyond the particular case that was heard. In 2006 and 2007, in response to apportionment concerns on the Trans Mountain pipeline system, Terasen Pipelines (Trans Mountain) Inc. (now Trans Mountain Pipeline Inc.) submitted a series of applications to the National Energy Board of revisions to the Trans Mountain Tariffs. Four of these applications proposed significant and controversial changes to the capacity allocation procedures on the pipeline system. The Board's decisions on these applications, with reasons, were released 15 March 2006, 12 April 2006, 20 July 2006 and 16 August 2007. This document compiles these four decisions for ease of reference.--Includes text from document.

In early 2008, the National Energy Board (Board or NEB) identified a proposed approach for the Land Matters Consultative Initiative (LMCI), consisting of four distinct topic streams. One of the streams, Stream 3, was Pipeline Abandonment--Financial Issues. The Board indicated that the key issue to be considered in respect of that stream was: "What is the optimal way to ensure that funds are available when abandonment costs are incurred?" The Board noted two key principles fundamental to its future decisions with respect to the financial matters related to pipeline abandonment. These were: a) Abandonment costs are a legitimate cost of providing service and are recoverable upon Board approval from users of the system; and b) Landowners will not be liable for costs of pipeline abandonment. These Reasons for Decision provide an overview of the matters considered by the Board in reaching a decision in respect of the abandonment cost estimates applications.--Document.

Supreme Court of Canada decisions have defined a general framework for the "duty to consult" Aboriginal peoples and accommodate their concerns over natural resource development, but anticipate the details of that framework will be expanded upon in the future. Aboriginal Consultation, Environmental Assessment, and Regulatory Review in Canada offers a paradigm that advances that discussion. It proposes an integrated and robust planning model for natural resource extraction allowing Aboriginal peoples, industry, governments, tribunals, and the Courts to all make contributions to reconciliation in the context of sustainable development and environmental protection. Kirk Lambrecht surveys the law of actual and asserted Aboriginal rights and historical and modern Treaty rights in Canada and discusses the national and international purposes of environmental assessment and regulatory review. He appraises the fundamental principles of Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence defining aboriginal consultation and accommodation as a constitutional imperative and uses case studies involving the National Energy Board to demonstrate how integrated process has evolved over time. Finally he offers general conclusions on the practical utility, and outstanding challenges, involving an integrated planning paradigm.
