Trust Alberta s Energy Regulator to Safeguard Coal Mines?

“The Alberta Energy Regulator is an independent regulator that carefully assesses mining project proposals and holds public consultations on mining and energy project applications. Alberta’s regulatory process is strict, thorough and independent.
