Description
The Responsible Energy Development Act (REDA) was proclaimed in part on June 17, 2013. Further parts of REDA were proclaimed on November 6, 2013 and March 29, 2014. After the Act was proclaimed, the AER became the single regulator for upstream oil, gas, oil sands and coal projects in Alberta. The AER is responsible for regulating energy resource developments under the specified enactments (Public Lands Act, Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, Water Act and Part 8 of the Mines and Minerals Act) from initial application to reclamation. The Act also creates a registry for landowners to register private surface agreements and ensure companies comply with commitments set out in the agreements. The Act defines the Regulator's governance structure which separates corporate, operational, and governance responsibilities from adjudicative functions (i.e., hearings on energy applications). With respect to Crown consultation with aboriginal peoples, REDA precludes the AER from assessing the adequacy of Crown consultation associated with the rights of aboriginal peoples as recognized and affirmed under Part II of the Constitution Act, 1982 (Section 21).
