Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is seeking participation from Indigenous groups in the development of the proposed Indigenous Ministerial Arrangements Regulations (IMARs). These regulations could enable Indigenous governing bodies to carry out certain powers, duties or functions currently carried out by the Canada Energy Regulator (CER).
NRCan is currently undertaking Phase 2 of the IMARs National Engagement Strategy. NRCan is seeking participation from Indigenous groups through in person or virtual engagement sessions, or through written responses to the Phase 2 discussion questions.
Preparing for an IMARs engagement session
NRCan is engaging Indigenous groups to help inform the proposed regulations. For details on upcoming engagement opportunities, email the IMARs team at imar-rama@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca.
NRCan has prepared materials to help ensure participants are able to fully participate in IMARs engagement activities:
- Proposed IMARs Information Sheet (PDF, 918 KB)
- IMARs Glossary of Terms (PDF, 375 KB)
- Regional Profiles for Federally Regulated Energy Infrastructure
In addition to these resources, interested Indigenous participants are also encouraged to refer to the Related links.
