2021–22 Annual Report of the Canada Energy Regulator – Appendix F: Inspection Officer Orders Issued in 2021–22

CVAs, which include Inspections, are a check at one point in time that a company is meeting requirements in acts, regulations, and conditions of a project’s approval, certificate, order, or permit. Inspections focus on one or two areas of a company’s operations.

If a situation requires immediate attention to keep people, property, and the environment safe, the CER may decide to issue an Inspection Officer Order. The Order will require a company to complete certain actions by a set date.
