The CEO of the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) on Monday apologised for his organisation's failure to fully inform local Indigenous communities about a toxic tailings leak from Imperial Oil's Kearl oil sands mine in northern Alberta.
Imperial told the AER the water seeping from Kearl contained tailings in August, Pushor said. By February, the regulator was preparing to issue an environmental protection order to Imperial over the seepage, when the second leak occurred.
Pushor told the committee that if he could go back in time, the AER would look at all its protocols and consider how "broadly and diligently" the regulator should communicate with the public around tailings incidents. The AER is investigating Imperial's conduct throughout the incident, while the AER's board of directors has launched an independent review of the regulator's internal process.
In March, the Alberta information commissioner announced an investigation into whether the AER had an obligation to disclose the Kearl tailings leak to the public.
