About the National Energy Board
The National Energy Board is an independent federal regulator of several parts of Canada’s energy industry. It regulates pipelines, energy development and trade in the public interest with safety as its primary concern. The Minister of Natural Resources is responsible for this organization.
The National Energy Board (NEB or the Board) was established by Parliament to regulate, among other things, the construction, operation and abandonment of pipelines that cross provincial or international borders, international power lines and designated interprovincial power lines, imports of natural gas and exports of crude oil, natural gas liquids, natural gas, refined petroleum products, and electricity, and oil and gas exploration and production activities in certain areas. The NEB is also charged with providing timely, accurate and objective information and advice on energy matters.
For more information about the NEB please visit our website.
The Access to Information Act
The Access to Information Act (the Act) gives the Canadian public a right to access information contained in federal government records, subject to certain specific and limited exceptions.
In accordance with section 72 of the Act, the head of every federal institution is required to submit an Annual Report to Parliament on the administration of the Act following the close of each fiscal year. The Annual Reports are then tabled in Parliament pursuant to section 72 of the Act. This report describes how the National Energy Board (NEB) fulfilled its access to information responsibilities during the fiscal year 2017–2018.
Tabling of the annual report
This annual report is prepared and is tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 72 of the Act.
1. Statistical Report and Interpretation
I. Requests received under the Access to Information Act
In 2017–18, the NEB received 112 requests under the Act (86 fewer requests than the previous reporting period).
The NEB also processed 104 informal requests during the reporting period. A total of 96 informal requests were for previously released packages under the Act identified on the “Completed Access to Information Requests” page of the NEB website.
For requests closed during the reporting period, the NEB processed a total of 24,979 pages and disclosed 16,983 pages to requesters. This represents a 44-percent decrease in the number of pages processed from fiscal year 2016–17.
Other federal government agencies and departments also consulted the NEB on 49^ occasions on which the records under their control related to NEB activities. The NEB processed 675 pages for these consultations.
II. Source of requests
The NEB observed a decrease in the number of requests received. The most frequent types of requesters in 2017–18 were media (73 percent), followed by business (12 percent), the public (11 percent), academia (2 percent), and organizations (2 percent).
| Year | Media | Public | Academia | Business | Organization |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017–18 | 82 | 12 | 2 | 14 | 2 |
| 2016–17 | 147 | 32 | 0 | 12 | 7 |
| 2015–16 | 33 | 16 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
| 2014–15 | 24 | 17 | 4 | 16 | 7 |
| 2013–13 | 21 | 21 | 2 | 31 | 22 |
III. Disposition of closed requests
In 2017–18, the NEB closed 147 requests. This represents a decrease from the 160 requests closed in 2016–17. Of the 147 requests closed during the reporting period, records for 17 were disclosed fully, while records for 102 were disclosed in part. There was only 1 request for which relevant records were exempted in their entirety. Of the remaining 27 requests, 7 were abandoned by the applicant and 20 had no records associated with them.
IV. Exemptions or exclusions invoked
Most of the exemptions invoked by the NEB in 2017–18 fell under three sections of the Act: subsection 19(1), which protects personal information; paragraphs 21(1)(a), (b), (c) and (d), which protect advice, recommendations and the deliberation process of public servants; and section 23, which protects solicitor-client privileged information.
V. Completion time
VI. Extensions
Section 9 of the Act permits an extension of statutory time limits under certain circumstances. In 2017–18, the NEB invoked extensions on 91 occasions. In 3 of these cases, an extension was required to conduct third-party notifications. In 21 of these cases, an extension was required for consultation within a government institution, with other government institutions or with other levels of government. A further 67 extensions were invoked since searches through large volumes of records made it impossible to meet the original timelines without interfering with NEB operations. All of the extensions, with the exception of 1 file, were for 120 days or less.
VIII. Costs
During 2017–18, the NEB Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Office incurred $507,306 in salary costs and $24,090 in goods and services costs to administer the Act.
See annex A for further statistical information.
2. Practices and procedures
I. NEB Structure
Access to information requests at the NEB are processed by the ATIP Office, which reports to the Vice President, Projects, as the ATIP Coordinator.
Access to information requests are initially received by the Information Management & Architecture Team’s Records department and forwarded to the ATIP Office. ATIP Office staff then process the requests in consultation with appropriate offices of primary interest and with external parties, where necessary.
The NEB has 6 full-time employees dedicated to access to information activities.
II. NEB ATIP Training
The NEB promotes access to information through in-person meetings, presentations, learning products, on the NEB’s intranet and through its training programs. It fosters responsible working relationships with clients and operates under clearly defined timelines.
During 2017–18, the NEB continued to require that all NEB staff and contractors successfully pass the Access to Information and Privacy Fundamentals – I015 course offered by the Canadian School of Public Service (CSPS). During this reporting period, there were 83 NEB employees who successfully completed said course which, combined with the 420 NEB employees who completed the course in 2016–17, represents approximately 92% of all NEB employees and contractors employed during the previous 2 fiscal years. Efforts will continue to ensure all staff have completed this course.
Training on the provision of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act was also offered by the ATIP Office which delivers both specialized training to respond to the needs of officers and clients, and general training to raise employees’ awareness of their responsibilities under these Acts. In this regard, the NEB undertook to review its Access to Information training materials (i.e. tasking email, PowerPoint presentation, ATIP Tips Sheet, etc.) to improve its training and communications with NEB leadership and staff.
The NEB further continued to implement its “ATIP Tip of the Week” initiative, started in 2016–17, where each week a new ATIP tip was posted on the screensaver of all NEB staff as a means to train and remind them of ATIP best practices and their obligations under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.
The NEB has also undertaken to review its internal privacy breach procedures and practices towards ensuring NEB staff are aware of their obligations in the event of a privacy breach. These updated procedures and practices are expected to be fully implemented during the 2018–19 reporting period.
The NEB ATIP officers received training by attending to numerous training conferences/webinars offered by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat Information and Privacy Policy Department, as well as attending the Canadian Access and Privacy Association yearly conference held in Ottawa in November 2017.
III. NEB Policies
Documentation and training materials on the NEB ATIP program are available through the corporate intranet, along with links to other materials, such as the acts, Treasury Board Secretariat policies and guidance documents, and a range of information management and guidance tools. The NEB did not implement any new policies, guidelines or procedures during the reporting period, but rather continued applying new initiatives from the previous reporting period.
In 2017–18, the NEB also undertook a comprehensive review of its ATIP procedures. This was an effort to enable continuous improvement and to identify opportunities for efficiencies in processing access to information and privacy requests. The ATIP Office will begin implementing new processes in fiscal year 2018–19.
As an organization that values openness and transparency, the NEB also strives to ensure that information is made publicly available without recourse to the Act. Exceptions to public access to information are limited and specific, as required by the legislation.
During the reporting period, the ATIP Office continued to support the enhancement of the NEB’s proactive disclosure of information to the public. The goal is to provide all relevant information related to the Board activities in a manner that is clear and transparent.
The type information that is now publicly available on NEB’s website includes (among others):
- Inspection and audit reports;
- Inspection Officer Orders and incident investigation reports;
- Corrective Action Plans;
- Pipeline performance dashboard;
- Online interactive pipeline incident map;
- Energy commodity visualizations.
The NEB also goes beyond Treasury Board Secretariat requirements by posting, via the Open Government portal and its own external website, the verbatim summaries of all completed access to information requests processed by the ATIP Office. This policy was adopted by the NEB to ensure it meets the highest standards of transparency.
3. Delegation of authority
The Governor in Council has designated the NEB Chair and CEO with the authority to exercise the powers, duties and functions of the Access to Information Act. However, the Chair and CEO has historically delegated said authority.
The Chair and CEO delegated this authority to the Executive Vice-President, Transparency and Strategic engagement in September 2016. In November 2017, a new delegation order was signed delegating authority to the Vice-President, Projects to exercise the powers, duties and functions under the Access to Information Act.
See annex B for a copy of the delegation orders.
4. Compliance
The NEB achieved a compliance rating of approximately 68% for completed Access to Information requests closed within the legislated timeframe in 2017–18. This represents a decrease from NEB’s completion rating of 77% in the previous fiscal year.
This result is mainly explained by a lingering effect of the significant increase of requests received during the previous reporting period. In 2016–17, 198 requests were received. This represented a 247% increase from the number of requests received in 2015–16.
5. Complaints and appeals to the Federal Court
During 2017–18, there were 80 new complaints registered with the Office of the Information Commissioner.
The Office of the Information Commissioner issued findings and recommendations regarding 32 complaints during 2017–18. Of those findings, 10 complaints were abandoned or discontinued, 5 complaints were recommended as well founded, and 10 complaints were acknowledged as resolved without any recommendation from the Office of the Information Commissioner or requiring any further actions by the NEB.
For the complaints that were ruled well founded, the NEB followed and applied the Office of the Information Commissioner’s recommendations, namely by disclosing information which had been exempted under the Act.
As always, the NEB will continue to work closely with the Office of the Information Commissioner to resolve the remaining ongoing complaints in a timely and efficient manner.
No appeals were made to the Federal Court of Canada during 2017–18.
