The Board Chair of Alberta’s Energy Regulator (AEC) has been personally involved in trying to arrange a meeting to discuss an ethics complaint against AEC board director David Yager, a special advisor to Premier Danielle Smith.
It has not been going well.
From banning a particular lawyer, refusing a virtual meeting, and disallowing a written record of the in-person meeting, the process is on hold. The AER denies there was an off-the-record demand, but doesn’t deny it rejected a virtual meeting.
Dwight Popowich just wants the regulator to follow its own policy and procedure for dealing with complaints.

Alberta Landowner Alleges ‘Mafia-Style’ Meeting Demands as Energy Regulator’s Ethics Investigation Stalls
Dwight Popowich and legal group Ecojustice are seeking an ethics investigation into AER director David Yager over alleged conflicts of interest. They say the regulator’s demand for an unrecorded meeting has stalled the process, a claim the AER denies.
