BREAKING NEWS: The AER declares no need for a conflict of interest investigation…because this kind of thing with Yager is pretty normal for our board and it’s up to each individual to behave ethically?

I don’t know. Tell me what you think this all means.

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.

This is not a new problem. Democracy Watch co-founder Duff Conacher said in the original story:

“There’s nowhere to go because you don’t have a legal right to challenge a decision not to investigate a situation, unfortunately,” he said, a reality that “makes it very easy for all of these entities to bury wrongdoing and keep it secret.”
