Harper: Don't Let Your Big Oil Friends Run the National Energy Board!

  • by: Ellen B.
  • recipient: PM Stephen Harper
This past week the Harper government announced that they had appointed a paid Kinder Morgan consultant to the National Energy Board (NEB).

The announcement came late on a Friday afternoon - a time usually reserved for announcements the government hopes the media will miss. It's clear why the Harper Government is trying to keep us from looking too closely.

Just two years after Kelly's consulting firm was hired by Kinder Morgan to help push for a $5.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, Petroleum executive Stephen Kelly will become a full-time member of the NEB. 

With Kelly's appointment, over half of the NEB board members have close ties to the petroleum industry. That's incredibly worrying for an organization that is making decisions that could effect our entire environment and the livelihoods of Canadians across the country.

We can't let Big Oil insiders continue to take over Canada's energy regulations and policy.

Send a message to Stephen Harper today to stop giving Big Oil consultants so much undue influence in Canada's energy and environmental decisions.
PM Harper:

The National Energy Board's primary job should be looking out for the interests of all Canadians, NOT just Big Oil.

That's why I was horrified to find out you had appointed a paid Kinder Morgan consultant to the NEB.

Even if Stephen Kelly will not rule directly on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion his ties to Kinder Morgan and the oil industry create a huge conflict of interest.

It's time to stop loading regulatory boards with oil insiders, and start appointing people who will look out for the interests of all Canadians and our environment.

Please, stop giving Big Oil consultants so much undue influence in Canada's energy and environmental decisions.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
