- Abstract
This article explores recent amendments to the National Energy Board Act that have fundamentally changed the National Energy Board's role as a regulatory agency. Specifically, it examines the Board's independence before and after the amendments, focusing on the controversy that gave rise to the Board's independence and the controversy that in turn removed it. Though the independence of the Board must now be understood differently in light of the amendments, this article concludes that the Board still plays an important role in societal choices regarding pipeline projects. Cet article explore les récents amendements à la Loi sur l'Office national de l'énergie qui changent fondamentalement le role de l'Office national de l'énergie en tant qu 'organisme de réglementation. Il porte tout spécialement sur l'indépendance de l'Office avant et après les amendements et insiste sur la controverse qui a accordé l'indépendance à l'Office et celle qui l'a retirée par la suite. Bien que l'indépendance de l'Office doive ètre vue différemment à la lumière des amendements, cet article arrive à la conclusion que l'Officejoue toujours un role important dans les choix de société au sujet des projets de pipeline.
