Bill 22 | The Red Tape Reduction Act

Bill 22 | The Red Tape Reduction Act

 


Alberta’s Bill 22, now known as the Red Tape Reduction Implementation Act, 2020, S.C. c. 25, greatly increases the powers and responsibilities of the Alberta Energy Regulator, making it more like a Court. First Nations will be particularly concerned about this because the AER is now the last stop for determinations about whether energy projects infringe treaty rights.
