The CER's senior leadership recently sat down for a virtual interview with CBC News. They said the regulator, formerly the National Energy Board, hasn't lived up to its obligations to First Nations, Métis and Inuit. "From the organization's perspective, I acknowledge that systemic racism exists. We as an organization need to acknowledge that and to acknowledge our part in that," said Gitane De Silva, the regulator's CEO. "The NEB has operated in a way that discounted Indigenous people, that saw them as an obstacle, that was adversarial," added Cassie Doyle, the CER's chairperson.
