NB Power – Debt Management Plan
Description and Background
The Province of New Brunswick will direct NB Power to implement a
debtmanagement plan, allowing it to reduce its debt and create
shareholders equity.
NB Power’s capital structure consists almost entirely of debt.
Altering this capital structure so there is both debt and equity would
be more in line with other Canadian government owned electric utilities
and is desirable for a number of reasons. These include lowering future
debt servicing costs, less volatility in rates and allowing meaningful
performance benchmarking against other electric utilities.
Government owned utilities typically do not have equity invested by the government due to the fact that funds come from the same source: government either borrows on behalf of the utility and creates a corresponding debt, or borrows to make an equity injection.With 100 percent debt, financing costs are simply interest payments, and rates are set to recover against these costs. Alternatively, if a portion of the capital of the utility is private equity, then the costs would be higher by the difference between the return on equity (typically around 9 percent for regulated utilities) and the debt costs (approximately 5 percent for government backed debt). Rates would necessarily be higher to cover the financing costs of the capital structure of debt and equity.
As a result, options for NB Power debt reduction and equity creation are:
- Allow NB Power to generate incremental cash flow by reducing expenses in the organization and other reasonable means, and using this cash flow to create equity while continuing to pay down debt.
- Enter into joint ventures with partners where assets are shared and
NB Power receives outside equity injection where economic and
reasonable.
These options were also recommended by the New Brunswick Energy
Commission. Government will direct NB Power to focus on the first option
as the preferred method to work towards debt reduction and equity
creation. The utility will also be directed, however, to fully explore
opportunities for regional collaboration that may arise and that make
sound financial sense for the utility and its customers.
NB Power has regulated cash flows that will enable the utility to
retire existing debt as it matures and there is no current requirement
to borrow significant amounts for capital expenditures over the next
decade. As a result, NB Power will be mandated to continue cost
reductions and use the cash flows generated from those savings to reduce
debt and to build equity within the utility. Both NB Power and the EUB
will use a 20 percent reduction in current debt levels and an equity
level of 20 percent of the capital structure as the ten year goals for
NB Power.
NB Power will also be directed to follow the capital investment path
set out in the utility’s integrated resource plan in conjunction with
corporate and operational cost reductions in order to ensure the lowest
rates possible are achieved for ratepayers. The New Brunswick Energy and
Utilities Board will ensure that NB Power’s annual income is limited to
the amount necessary to achieve these objectives.
In addition to permitting a reasonable level of incremental cash
flow, the Province will eliminate the payments in lieu of income taxes
and Transco dividend payments that NB Power is currently required to pay
to government. This will allow NB Power to further reduce its debt
burden.
Key Objectives Served by this Action
Low and Stable Energy Prices – The cost of servicing NB Power’s debt
is a major part of its operating expenditures. Altering the utility’s
debt and equity levels to be more in line with other electric utilities
would allow it to reduce its interest payments and build an equity
cushion to help smooth over periods of reduced revenues or increased
capital spending, mitigating the need for rate increases in direct
response to these events.

N.B. Power CEO fired as utility embarks on 'transformational change'
Board of directors made decision to fire CEO Keith Cronkhite 2 years after he started in role
The company issued a statement Monday that president and CEO Keith Cronkhite would be stepping down from the position and that Lori Clark, the company's senior vice-president operations would be appointed to the role on an acting basis.
In an interview with CBC News, Charles Firlotte, chair of N.B. Power's board, confirmed the decision to remove Cronkhite was made by the board.
"The board is looking forward to the future and the energy sector in North America — indeed globally — is undergoing massive, massive change, transformational-like, and we need to follow suit.
"And we are also burdened with some pretty significant debt as well, and so we have a steep climb over the next few years and we're looking toward a transformational change from what N.B. Power is today, which is the last of the great monopolies, if you will, to an efficient energy provider for all New Brunswickers."

N.B. Power did not make Cronkhite available for an interview Monday afternoon.
His exit comes a little more than two years after he took on the role in April 2020.
A brief biography on N.B. Power's website describes him as having more than 30 years of industry experience.
It doesn't say how long he was with N.B. Power but that he held positions of increasing responsibility within the operations and corporate departments, including his previous role as senior vice-president of business development and strategic planning.
At the time Cronkhite became CEO, N.B. Power had just faced a wave of public scrutiny for its investment in Florida-based Joi Scientific's plan to turn seawater into electricity.
It was also facing pressure to reduce its $4.9 billion debt, which New Brunswick's auditor-general in 2020 said represented 94 per cent of the company's equity.
The Blaine Higgs government has ordered the utility to reduce its debt to 80 per cent of equity by 2027, but in the 2020-21 fiscal year, its debt went up by $9 million.
Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland wasn't made available for an interview, but in an email statement said he reviewed the board's recommendation to fire Cronkhite, and ultimately accepted it.
"The Board of Directors has our full support as it embarks on this corporate transformation for improved performance," Holland said.
Launching strategic review
Along with its decision to remove Cronkhite, N.B. Power has hired PricewaterhouseCoopers to lead a strategic review, "which will include identifying immediate ways to optimize the current cost structure and meet debt obligations, as well as identifying alternative solutions to meet New Brunswickers' power needs in a cost competitive, reliable and environmentally sustainable way," according to its news release.
The board is also starting a search for a new CEO, which is expected to take "several" months.
Speaking to CBC News, Firlotte said an example of new strategies to meet the province's energy needs could look like what was done by Saint John Energy with its Burchill wind-turbine program.
"We have a large coal-fired plant in in Belledune that has a life expectancy of just six or seven years, at least in burning coal, and Coleson Cove, oil-fired as well," Firlotte said.
"So those are going to be essentially stranded assets that we have to replace and we have to make that migration toward, toward renewables as well, to be sure."
Change a good thing, says environmental advocate
Louise Comeau, director of climate change and energy solutions with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick agrees N.B. Power needs to significantly pivot in the way it operates.
"The whole world is moving toward using electricity day-to-day in their lives, and N.B. Power is not ready for that future at all," Comeau said.

Conservation Council of New Brunswick, said she's pleased NB Power is
poised to make big changes to how it operates. (Kirk Pennell/CBC)
Comeau said large electricity utilities tend to be "conservative" in the way they operate, leaving them slow to respond to new challenges and changes in technology.
She said as an example. the company has poured money into the Point Lepreau Generating Station, leading to much larger debt.
"And that affects rates and it limits our options for the future, particularly around the need for renewable energy, more efficiency, a more flexible energy system.
"We have a fairly traditional approach to that, and we need to think about a new way to generate electricity and to manage electricity."
A surprise for some
Cronkhite's firing came as a surprise to Bathurst West-Beresford MLA Rene Legacy, who serves as energy critic with the Liberals.
He said he has spoken with Cronkhite during house committee meetings and found him to be intelligent and well-spoken.
Plus, he thought N.B. Power was already heading in a new direction under his leadership, especially the recent amendments to the Electricity Act that give the company the ability to pursue new revenue-generating ventures.

surprised and concerned about the firing of Cronkhite. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
"I guess my concern is in the last year-and-a-half, there's been a lot of files brought to the legislature around essentially setting a new direction, setting plans," Legacy said.
"And my understanding was Mr. Cronkhite was the architect of all this, so how do we tie in the fact that, you know, a person that was essentially in charge of all these changes is not there anymore?"
Legacy said N.B. Power's board also appears to be sending a confusing message over its priorities, and whether paying down its debt takes precedence over investing in new green technologies.
Whoever takes over as the next CEO, Kent North MLA Kevin Arseneau said he hopes they plot a long-term vision that sees the utility generating all of its electricity with renewable sources.
"What's extremely important when we talk about N.B. Power is that it's a Crown corporation, it's a public service," he said.
"And so they need to be at the service of the population of the province, moving forward with renewable energies and in a realistic and sustainable way, and bringing, obviously, our solar and wind projects up."

NB Power management at fault for missed debt targets, says auditor general
Debt reduction is "not a priority" at Crown corporation, said Kim Adair-Macpherson
"It is ultimately management's decision to reduce debt," said Adair-MacPherson, in a 65-page review of the utility she presented to MLAs on Tuesday.
NB Power ended the 2020 fiscal year with $4.9 billion in net debt, about $700 million higher than targets set for it by the Legislature in 2013. That's a concern, according to the auditor general, because the province guarantees what NB Power owes and significant new spending requirements are approaching.
"It's the largest contingent risk to the province," she told MLAs, about NB Power's liabilities.
Debt reduction, her report said, is "not a top priority" of utility management, who she said failed to meet financial targets "year after year" by engaging in "optimistic" and "inaccurate forecasting" of utility expenses.
The report notes how in 2016 the utility projected $549 million in profits for itself over the following four years in its planning but managed to achieve actual profits over the period of just $54 million, less than 10 per cent of what it had suggested.
Damaging storms, spotty performance by the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station, low hydro production during dry summers and other problems have all taken turns upsetting the utility's financial plans, but Adair-MacPherson said those risks need to be better accounted for in corporate planning.

lines and cost NB Power a record-setting $30 million in cleanup
expenses. (Jerome Luc Paulin/Twitter)
She also expressed concern about whether the utility will be able to significantly improve its finances before 2027, when up to $4 billion in major expenditures will be needed for a rebuild of the Mactaquac Dam and other projects.
"NB Power does not have a definitive plan to do this," she wrote about the need for significant short term debt reduction.
Although NB Power charges some of the lowest rates for electricity in Atlantic Canada, Adair-MacPherson questioned whether that makes business sense given its financial position.
"While maintaining a consistently low annual rate may be advantageous to NB Power consumers, it is likely contributing to its failure to meet the debt to equity target and ever-increasing debt level," she said.
Adair-MacPherson's report comes as NB Power is coping with yet another major unbudgeted cost, the unexpected breakdown of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station last month.

reliability issues resolved in the last two years, until the utility had
a surprise problem with its turbines in January. (Submitted by NB Power)
Turbine problems forced a shutdown of the plant in mid January and more than a month later it remains offline at an approximate cost to the utility of $1 million per day.
In its response to the report, NB Power defended its forecasting practices and expressed confidence it will get its debt level down to the required 80 per cent level by 2027. However, it also promised to do better budgeting for trouble.
"NB Power agrees to evaluate additional means to quantify the impact of significant future cost uncertainties outside management's control and to include this information in its planning process," said the utility's response.

Auditor general reproaches N.B. Power for financial barriers to energy efficiency
Report by Auditor General Paul Martin also questions high salaries for utility executives
"Moderate-income households may have difficulty accessing NB Power's energy efficiency programs, due to lack of financing mechanisms," Paul Martin says in a report tabled at the legislature Thursday.
It faults the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development for not requiring N.B. Power to create a loan program when it folded energy efficiency programs into the utility in 2015.
"Low-income households are really being left out if they cannot obtain that funding mechanism to even consider these programs," Martin said while presenting his report to the legislature's public accounts committee.
New Brunswick is one of only two provinces with no financing mechanism in its energy-efficiency programs. Residents must spend the money up front and then get a rebate for part of the amount.
Martin said N.B. Power doesn't need to be the organization providing the loans as long as they're available somehow.
"Being one of only two province not doing it — there must be a way," Martin said. "Almost everybody else is doing it, so why is this an issue?"
Financing mechanisms "are a widely used and a cost-effective tool to make energy efficiency more accessible to moderate and low-income households," says the report, Martin's first since becoming auditor general on Jan. 1.
It quotes N.B. Power replying that it doesn't have the funds to provide loans because of its focus on debt reduction. The utility also pointed out that the federal government announced a major loan program for energy retrofits in its budget last year.
N.B. Power spokesperson Marc Belliveau said in an email the utility's low income energy savings program provides free energy efficient upgrades to eligible homeowners and 466 homes were retrofitted last year.
"N.B. Power is looking at options to expand this program," he said.
The audit says people who don't heat with electricity aren't using the energy-efficiency programs at the same level and that N.B.Power doesn't believe it has to fund them.
New Brunswick's auditor-general Paul Martin says N.B. Power has the
highest average salary among Crown agencies. (Submitted by Office of the
Auditor General)
It also says the department hasn't given N.B.Power any energy efficiency targets and hasn't provided enough oversight of the program.
Martin's report calls for "a plan" to address the issue.
The utility says as part of its response in that it will conduct a "barrier study" by June 2023 looking at other provinces to come up with recommendations "to increase participation" by low- and middle-income households.
"You're asking for a plan and implementation, and you're going to get a study," Liberal MLA René Legacy told Martin.
"We would always like to see our recommendations addressed faster, and as fast as possible," Martin answered.
Highest executive salary
The report also includes a chapter on salaries at provincial Crown agencies that highlights N.B. Power CEO Keith Cronkhite's $560,000 salary as the highest among any head of a provincial Crown agency.
The utility also has the highest average salary among Crown agencies and is the only one to offer a generous "executive retirement supplement" to everyone in the position of vice-president or higher, like the one availabe to deputy ministers.
For employees earning $100,000 a year or more, the utility's salaries also rise at a faster rate than civil servants working for government departments.

highest of any at a Crown corporation in New Brunswick. (Roger
Cosman/CBC News)
The report recommends the government set out what it means when it says salaries in Part IV of the government, Crown agencies, should be consistent.
"A lack of clear expectations from government increases the risk of government intentions not being carried out," the report says.
"In our view, government should clearly define what it expects of Part IV Crown agencies with regards to non-bargaining salary and benefits practices."
Martin acknowledges N.B. Power and other Crown corporations don't work directly for the government and each organization is allowed to set its own policies.
But the audit says the province provides "some direction" through memoranda of understanding it issues to the Crown agencies every three year.
Executive retirement benefits
While executive salaries at N.B. Power are higher than normal, the utility has less generous health and dental benefits and lower travel expense allowances than other parts of the provincial public sector.
The report also looks at the New Brunswick Financial and Consumer Services Commission, the Research and Productivity Council, Opportunities New Brunswick, the two regional health authorities and others.
But N.B. Power is the only one to offer the executive retirement benefit to senior officials.
If they work for five years or more, senior executives get a retirement supplement of one per cent of their annual salary for every year worked, up to 10 per cent.
For example, an N.B. Power executive with an average salary of $200,000 per year over 10 years would get an additional $20,000 a year during retirement.
That's on top of the regular provincial pension under the New Brunswick Public Service Pension Plan.
Belliveau pointed out the report acknowledges that the utility sector "is a complex one" and N.B. Power has to offer "a competitive compensation package" to attract qualified executives.
He said the retirement supplement is designed to make up for higher salaries and bonus programs that other utilities offer and that N.B. Power doesn't have.

N.B. Power asks for biggest rate hike in 15 years: 8.9 per cent on April 1
Premier blames climate policies, but CEO says ‘very little’ of hike is due to carbon pricing
The Crown utility says it needs the huge increase in 2023-24 just to cover the "unprecedented challenges" caused by the spiralling cost of energy and inflation as well as higher interest rates.
"We recognize that any rate increase is difficult for our customers," acting CEO Lori Clark told reporters.
"N.B. Power has taken steps to ensure the rate increase is as low as it can possibly be, while ensuring that the utility can continue to cover its services reliably, safely and confidently for New Brunswickers now and into the future."
The rate increase, if approved by the Energy and Utilities Board, would take effect April 1, 2023.
It's N.B. Power's biggest rate application since 2007, when it asked for a 9.6 per cent increase. That was later lowered to 6.4 per cent, and the board eventually set the increase at 5.9 per cent.

the legislature Wednesday, Premier Blaine Higgs blamed the higher costs

making energy more expensive. (Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press)
The utility says energy costs for fuel purchase and electricity imports from outside the province will increase by $102.8 million in the coming year, and recent interest rate increases will add $31 million to the corporation's bottom line.
The application acknowledges that even an 8.9 per cent increase won't be enough to lower its accumulated debt of about $5 billion or increase its equity relative to that debt.
Officials say it may have to seek rate increases of two to 16 per cent in each of the two following years, but because of market volatility it's not applying for hikes for those years yet.
At the legislature Wednesday, Premier Blaine Higgs blamed the higher costs driving the rate hike on federal climate policies that he said are making energy more expensive.
"This shouldn't be a surprise," he said. "The policies that are being put on us now are causing a higher cost of energy in our province.
"N.B. Power is reacting to that. They really don't have a choice."
Clark, however, said that only a small part of the increased costs comes from federal carbon pricing requirements.
The utility says 52 per cent of the rate increase can be attributed to fuel costs, but "very little of that is actually attributed to the carbon pricing," Clark said.
"The carbon pricing itself is in the millions of dollars. Most of it is the result of the increase in fuels that we buy and trade on world markets."
N.B. Power cites pandemic, war in Ukraine
The utility's application mentions carbon pricing and the transition to renewable and low-emitting energy sources as factors in the "significant fiscal challenges" it's facing.
But it also notes that people "across the world" are facing some of the same challenges as New Brunswickers, such as energy price volatility due to the war in Ukraine and supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The application points out rate increases over the last decade have not kept pace with inflation or with many other provincial utilities' rates.
The request would be for a double-digit increase if not for N.B. Power's plan to shave $50 million from its costs, including by eliminating some positions, officials said.
Province not likely to overrule increase
Clark defended the decision to freeze rates in the last two years due to COVID-19, but she would not say whether earlier rate freezes or below-inflation increases, some of them imposed by governments, had been a mistake.
"There's a lot of blame to attribute in the past, and we're going to focus on going forward and ensuring the utility is healthy for the future," she said.

Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland said he's
strongly in favour of allowing the utility to form its own rate increase
without intervention from the government. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
Both Higgs and Energy Minister Mike Holland all but ruled out stepping in to overrule the EUB if it approves the rate increase.
"I'm strongly in favour of allowing the utility to form their own rate increase without intervention from the government, taking heart and knowing that the EUB is there to ensure that whatever increase they come out the other side with, it's legitimate," Holland said.
Higgs noted the recent announcement of a "probably unprecedented" program to provide free heat pumps to households that use electric heat and have an income of less than $70,000.
He said the province will soon announce another program "for other forms of heating as well, to reduce that."
N.B. Power estimates the heat pump program, which also includes insulation upgrades, will lower a household's yearly bill by $500.

Relativement à une demande présentée par la Société d’énergie du Nouveau-Brunswick en vertu du paragraphe 103(1) de la Loi sur l’électricité pour l’approbation des barèmes des tarifs pour l’exercice financier commençant le 1er avril 2023.
Held via Videoconferencing, on November 9, 2022.
Members of the Board:
Mr. Francois Beaulieu - Chairperson
Ms. Heather Black - Member
Ms. Stephanie Wilson - Member
Counsel to Board Staff - Ms. Abigail Herrington
............................................................
CHAIRPERSON: So welcome, everyone or good morning. This is a pre-hearing conference in Matter 541 relating to an application by New Brunswick Power Corporation pursuant to subsection 103(1) of the Electricity Act for approval of the Schedule of Rates for the fiscal year commencing April 1st 2023.
Il s’agit de la vidéoconférence préparatoire à l’audience dans l’instance 541, relativement à une demande présentée par la Société d’énergie du Nouveau-Brunswick en vertu du paragraphe 103(1) de la Loi sur l’électricité pour l’approbation des barèmes des tarifs pour l’exercice financier commençant le 1er avril 2023.
So the panel this morning consists of myself Francois Beaulieu. I am joined my members Heather Black and Stephanie Wilson.
For those of you who are not accustomed to these types of conferences, there is just a few things that I essentially will -- I would like to remind you.
First of all, we have been experiencing for the past two and a half years with these types of virtual conference hearings that if you are not connected to a hardwired connection and you are connected to Wi-Fi sometimes that doesn’t work that well, so it’s preferable that you are connected directly to hardwire. The use of headphones would be much appreciated. If you have some, it makes the job of Ms. Farris, who is the court stenographer, much easier when it comes to transcribing the transcript. Mute your microphones when you are not speaking to eliminate background noises. Don’t forget to plug your electric devices, activate your cameras and unmute your devices when you are required to speak. And in the event that there is a discussion that needs to be done between the parties without the Board Panel Members, the Chief Clerk will be putting myself, Ms. Black and Ms. Wilson into a waiting room for the parties to have that discussion and we also will reassure ourselves that no other parties that are not an intervener or the applicant in the main room be put also in the waiting room.
As this pre-hearing is open to the general public and to the media, I would ask these individuals to mute and disable their cameras. Simultaneous translation is available at the bottom of your screen. If you look, there is an icon that states interpretation. So you are able to activate either the French or English translation. And any recording or broadcasting of this pre-hearing conference is strictly prohibited.
So, Mr. Furey, I was looking at the documents that were filed on behalf of your client yesterday and did notice that there was an Affidavit of Publication dated October 18th 2022 which confirms that items 4 and 5 of the Board order dated October 17 have been complied with. So thank you for filing that Affidavit of Publication.
There are a number of parties that have filed intervener requests in this proceeding. So I think the first thing that we are going to do this morning before talking about dates and schedules is to confirm those parties -- or to confirm or to -- should I say to grant intervener status to the parties that have applied for intervener status.
So the first one is the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, and I am wondering if Mr. Gauthier or Mr. Gionet is with us this morning or somebody else from that association?
MR. GIONET: Yes. Mr. Gionet here for the -- here representing the CFIB.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Mr. Gionet. So the Board’s rules of procedure -- if there are any issues regarding any parties requesting intervener status, a party is requested -- or anyone is requested to file an objection. We haven’t received any objections regarding -- with respect to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. However, at this point in time, I will ask if anyone has any objections that the Canadian Federation of Independent Business intervenes in this proceeding?
MR. FUREY: No, objection, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: So hearing no objections from any other parties in this proceeding, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business will be granted intervener status. I am wondering if there is anybody from the Coalition for Responsible Energy Development in New Brunswick? Are there any objections that the Board grants intervener status to this Coalition from any of the parties? So hearing no objections, the Board will grant the Coalition for Responsible Energy Development in New Brunswick intervener status in this proceeding.
Is anyone from the Conservation Council of New Brunswick?
DR. COMEAU: Present. Louise Comeau.
CHAIRPERSON: So, good morning, Dr. Comeau. Any of the parties that are present today that has any objections that the Board grants intervener status to the Conservation Council? So hearing no objections, the Board will grant intervener status to the Conservation Council of New Brunswick.
Mr. Amos, David Amos, I am wondering if -- I don’t know if you have a video or if you are calling in, Mr. Amos?
MR. AMOS: Yes, I am on a cell phone.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. So Mr. Amos has filed an intervener request in this proceeding. Does anybody have any objections that he intervenes in this proceeding?
MR. FUREY: Mr. Chair, NB Power is not objecting to Mr. Amos being granted intervener status at this point. But I do have a few comments to make with respect to his intervention.
As the Board knows, NB Power did object to intervention by Mr. Amos in Matters 375 and Matter 430. And in both cases the Board did not grant Mr. Amos intervener status.
I am not going to go into a great deal of detail for why the Board did so, but would refer the Board to its decision in Matter 430, dated February 25th 2019. And the argument that NB Power made at that time and was accepted by the Board is that Mr. Amos’ conduct in past proceedings has been one of confrontational behaviour where he makes allegations of lawlessness and unethical behavior on the part of judges, on the part of counsel, on the part of Members of this Board. So NB Power is hoping that Mr. Amos will put that behind him and intervene in this matter in a responsible manner. But if he does not do so and he reverts to previous conduct, NB Power will ask the Board to revisit this issue.
CHAIRPERSON: So my understanding, Mr. Furey, is that your client is not objecting at this point in time, but depending on the conduct, you may either file a motion or inform the Board that his -- if the Board grants intervener status, that it be revoked, is that my understanding?
MR. FUREY: That’s correct, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Does anyone else have any comments to make regarding the intervener request that has been filed by Mr. Amos?
So, Mr. Amos, the Board will grant you intervener status in this matter. However, I just would like to remind you that the rules of -- the Board’s Rules of Procedure are quite clear that an individual that -- or an organization that participates in these types of proceedings needs to participate responsibly. And also I was just looking at the decision that we rendered in Matter 430 on February 25th 2019 and I am also looking at paragraph 13. And I am going to remind you that responsible intervention in these types of proceedings obligates yourself and anyone who intervenes to raise issues and to file evidence that is relevant to the matter in question. And the Board must focus on its legislative mandate and consider just those issues that are within our jurisdiction.
So if you raise any issues that are outside the Board’s jurisdiction, I will probably ask you to focus on those issues that you raised in your intervener request, which essentially is I think you have an issue regarding the proposed rate increase. And if there are any other issues that you think that is within the application that has been filed by NB Power that you have a concern with, I think you need to focus on that.
That being said, Mr. Amos, even though that we are granting you intervener status doesn’t mean that we cannot revoke it. And if there is somebody -- or if there is a party that files an objection to it, well the Board will hear their arguments and also your point of view and we will have to render a decision.
So I am just wondering if you understand what I am saying and if there is anything else that you would like to add, Mr. Amos, I am going to give you that opportunity right now.
MR. AMOS: Can you hear me?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, we can.
MR. AMOS: I do not understand what you say but I hope everything you say has gone into writing or will be. I have done nothing to offend you.
CHAIRPERSON: Yes. No, Mr. Amos, there is a court stenographer that is transcribing everything right now so, yes, it will be --
MR. AMOS: And I have done nothing to offend you.
CHAIRPERSON: So do you understand what I am saying, Mr. Amos?
MR. AMOS: No, I don’t understand because I have done nothing to offend you.
CHAIRPERSON: So we are going to proceed, Mr. Amos. And so the Board will grant you intervener status, but again the Board is the master of its own procedure and if somebody files a motion requesting that we revoke your status, we will be hearing those arguments if it ever happens.
So, Mr. Daly, I am not sure if you have access to video and I am noticing that you are muted also.
MR. DALY: Morning, Mr. Chairman, can you hear me?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, we can. Yes.
MR. DALY: Okay. Present.
CHAIRPERSON: So do you have access to video, Mr. Daly?
MR. DALY: Yes, I do.
CHAIRPERSON: So maybe you could -- yes. You could maybe activate your video on your computer?
MR. DALY: I have got to -- I have got a button here somewhere, I think.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. So --
MR. DALY: Can you see me now?
CHAIRPERSON: No, we can’t. But in the meantime that you try to figure that out, I am just going to ask the parties if anyone is objecting to your intervener request?
MR. DALY: Can you -- is my video not on now?
CHAIRPERSON: No, it’s not. No. So I am just going to move on, Mr. Daly. And maybe you could try to figure that out. And maybe once we are done with you, I would ask you to mute your device.
So hearing no objection, the Board will grant intervener status to Mr. Daly.
MR. DALY: Thank you very much.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. J.D. Irving, Limited? I do notice that Ms. Rubin is present. So any objections regarding the intervener request that has been filed by J.D. Irving? So hearing no objections, the Board will grant intervener status to J.D. Irving, Limited.
MS. RUBIN: Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Liberty Utilities? I think I did notice Ms. Gellner.
MS. GELLNER: Yes, Brandy Gellner here for Liberty.
CHAIRPERSON: So does anyone have any objections for Liberty Utilities to intervene in this proceeding? So hearing no objections, the Board will grant intervener status to Liberty Utilities in this matter.
Twin Rivers Paper Company Inc. I did notice Mr. Hoyt. Any parties have any objections for Twin Rivers to intervene in this matter? So hearing no objections, the Board will grant intervener status to Twin Rivers Paper Company Inc.
Lastly, there is an intervener request that was filed by the Power Commission of the City of Saint John, Edmundston Energy and the Perth Andover Electric Light Commission, commonly known as the Utilities Municipal. And I did notice Mr. Stoll. So if anyone has any objection --
MR. STOLL: Good morning.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, sir. Any objections regarding the participation of the Utilities Municipal? So hearing no objections, the Board will grant intervener status to Utilities Municipal in this proceeding.
MR. STOLL: Thank you, sir.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, sir. Is there anyone joining us today who has submitted -- who hasn’t submitted an intervener request but do wish to intervene in this proceeding, in Matter 541? And if so, maybe I would ask you to activate your camera and unmute yourself and provide me your name?
So hearing no one, we will move on to taking appearances and I am going to start with New Brunswick Power Corporation?
MR. FUREY: Good morning, Mr. Chair. John Furey for NB Power.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Furey. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business?
MR. GIONET: Mr. Frederic Gionet for the Federation of Independent Business, present.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Gionet. Mr. Gionet, I am just wondering are you going to proceed in the English language or do you prefer proceeding in the French language?
MR. GIONET: We will be proceeding in the English language.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. So I understand that there is no one appearing on behalf of Coalition for Responsible Energy Development Inc., but if so, if that individual has joined us, I would ask that person to maybe provide us your name please? Okay. So no one appearing on behalf of the Coalition. The Conservation Council of New Brunswick?
DR. COMEAU: Louise Comeau.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Dr. Comeau. David Amos?
MR. AMOS: I am here.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Good morning, Mr. Amos. Gerald Daly?
MR. DALY: Present, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Good morning, Mr. Daly. J.D. Irving, Limited?
MS. RUBIN: Good morning, Mr. Chair, Nancy Rubin and I am joined by my partner Conor O’Neil and company representative, Dion Hanrahan.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Ms. Rubin. Liberty Utilities?
MS. GELLNER: Good morning, Mr. Chair. Brandy Gellner for Liberty.
CHAIRPERSON: Good Morning Mr. -- Ms. -- I almost said Mister, but I am sorry about that, Ms. Gellner. Twin Rivers Paper Company Inc.?
MR. HOYT: Good morning, Mr. Chair. Len Hoyt for Twin Rivers Paper Company.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Hoyt. The Utilities Municipal?
MR. STOLL: Good morning, Mr. Chair. Scott Stoll.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Stoll. The Public Intervener?
MR. WILLIAMS: Good morning, Mr. Chairman and Board Members. Rick Williams, Public Intervener.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Williams. And the New Brunswick Energy & Utilities Board?
MS. HERRINGTON: Good morning, Mr. Chair. Abigail Herrington.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Ms. Herrington. So for those who are familiar with the process of a pre-hearing conference, it’s essentially to set -- to look -- essentially it’s to set a timeline for the hearing.
And in advance of the pre-hearing today, NB Power and Board Staff have provided a proposed filing schedule which was posted on the Board’s website.
But before starting that discussion, Mr. Furey, I am going to ask -- there is a letter that was filed by Mr. Waycott I think on October 5th 2022 when he submitted the filing application. And I did notice in the fourth paragraph of his letter that your client was planning to file an expert or expert evidence in the form of a report regarding the fuel and purchased power prices and forecasts and something that relates to the global and domestic economic factors contributing to pricing volatility and other inflationary -- that’s a hard word for me -- pressures. So I am just wondering if -- I have been informed this morning that the report hasn’t been filed and I am wondering if you anticipate filing your report?
MR. FUREY: My belief, Mr. Chair, is that that report was filed on Monday by Mr. Waycott.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay.
MR. FUREY: And there may have been some issue with the interveners -- no, all interveners were provided with it on Monday. So perhaps if interveners could confirm that they have received it?
CHAIRPERSON: Well I am seeing Mr. Stoll shaking -- like nodding yes, that --
MR. STOLL: We received it, sir.
CHAIRPERSON: So Ms. Rubin, did you receive it also?
MS. RUBIN: This was the testimony of Ms. Powers and Mr. Nowak, we did receive that, yes.
CHAIRPERSON: So just give me a minute, Mr. Furey, I think Ms. Mitchell is checking. Mr. Hoyt, did you receive the report?
MR. HOYT: Yes, Ms. Mitchell sent it out yesterday.
CHAIRPERSON: I will go through all the parties. Mr. Gionet, did you also receive the report?
MR. GIONET: No, I did not, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Dr. Comeau, did you receive the report?
DR. COMEAU: Yes, I did. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Amos, did you receive the report that I am talking about?
MR. AMOS: Yes. A lady by the name of Ms. Gordon, I believe, sent it to me.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Mr. Daly? You probably need to unmute yourself, sir.
MR. DALY: Yes, Mr. Chairman, I seen one I think yesterday afternoon.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Ms. Gellner?
MS. GELLNER: Yes, Mr. Chair, I received the report.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Mr. Hoyt, confirmed. Mr. Williams?
MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, I did.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. So Mr. Furey, I think there is only Mr. Gionet, so I am going to ask Ms. Mitchell to provide him that report. Oh, you are muted, Mr. --
MR. FUREY: We will also check, Mr. Chair, to ensure that we have the correct contact information for Mr. Gionet. We believe we sent it, but we will double check.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. All right. So like I was saying a few minutes ago, this morning is an opportunity for all parties to comment on the two schedules that have been filed or provided to the parties. I think it’s probably appropriate for the Board Members to be put into a waiting room and then provide the opportunity for all parties to have a discussion regarding on the two proposed schedules and try to arrive at a consensus on how the matter will unfold during the next couple of weeks -- or couple of months, I should say.
So I am going to ask Ms. Mitchell to put myself and Ms. Black and Ms. Wilson into a waiting room and I will let the parties have that discussion regarding the proposed schedule.
(Off the record)
CHAIRPERSON: So the Board has been provided a copy of the proposed schedule which the Board has reviewed and we have no difficulty with the proposed schedule. We do notice that there are two dates that have been added to the schedule in order to deal with confidential documents.
So I would ask Ms. Herrington maybe to read on the record the proposed schedule and afterwards what I will do is I will ask all parties if there are any issues with the schedule that’s been read on the record. Ms. Herrington?
MS. HERRINGTON: Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the parties have also come to a proposed agreement on certain deadlines with respect to dealing with confidentiality. I am not sure if the Board has reviewed those dates or not but I can read them in now.
CHAIRPERSON: Well, yeah. Again I think there is no issues with -- no, I think there is a date of -- a notice of objections regarding the documents. I think the date is Tuesday, November the 15th. And afterward the hearing would be held on Friday, November the 18th.
MS. HERRINGTON: Yes, that’s right. That’s right, Mr. Chair. The parties have also agreed that any requests for confidential information from NB Power and the requisite confidentiality undertakings will be provided to Mr. Furey by no later than the end of day today.
NB Power has agreed that it will provide responses to those requests by no later than the end of day tomorrow being November 10th. And then you are correct, Mr. Chair, that the parties have agreed on a deadline of Tuesday, November 15th at noon for any objections to be filed. NB Power would have until Wednesday, November 16th at noon to file their response to any objections that are raised. And then a motions day would be set for Friday, November 18th at 9:30 a.m. to hear any objections that are necessary.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. And maybe you could just read the rest of the dates?
MS. HERRINGTON: Certainly. So interrogatories to the applicant will be filed by Wednesday, November 23rd at 12:00 p.m. Interrogatory responses will be filed by Tuesday, December 13th at 12:00 p.m. A notice of motion for any issues arising from interrogatories will be filed by Thursday, December 15th at 12:00 p.m. There will be an ADR on motion and a motions days scheduled for Monday, December 19th at 9:30 a.m. Any additional responses arising from the motions day will be filed by Wednesday, December 21st at 12:00 p.m. Intervener evidence will be filed by Monday, January 9th 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Interrogatories on intervener evidence will be filed by Wednesday, January 18th 2023 at 4:00 p.m. Interrogatory responses will be filed by Wednesday, February 1st 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Any notices on motion with respect to those IRs on the intervener evidence will be filed by Friday, February 3rd 2023 at 12:00 p.m. There will be an ADR on motion and a motions day scheduled for Monday, February 6th at 9:30 a.m. Any additional responses arising from that motions day will be filed by Wednesday, February 8th at 12:00 p.m. All parties will file their rebuttal evidence by Thursday, February 9th at 12:00 p.m. And the hearing will commence on Monday, February 13th 2023 and it will be scheduled for a period of two weeks, recognizing that Monday, February 20th is a holiday, so a total of nine days.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Ms. Herrington. So, Mr. Furey, any issues with the schedule that has been read on the record?
MR. FUREY: No, that’s acceptable to NB Power. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. And, Mr. Gionet, any issues with what was read?
MR. GIONET: No issues on my side.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Gionet. And I think Ms. Wylie is -- I don’t know if she is here?
MS. WYLIE: Yes, I am here.
CHAIRPERSON: So any issues, Ms. Wylie? And maybe you can activate your video if you have one?
MS. WYLIE: I have a video. I can see you and see myself. Can you --
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Yeah, we don’t see you though.
MS. WYLIE: Okay. I think maybe something is wrong with my camera. Well, no, there I am.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. So any issues with the schedule, Ms. Wylie?
MS. WYLIE: I just need -- because of my hearing, I just need to know the intervener evidence date, January something, 9th?
CHAIRPERSON: So the intervener evidence to be filed is January the 9th, it’s a Monday, at noon.
MS. WYLIE: Thank you. That’s all I need. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. I don’t know if Dr. Comeau -- I think she left this morning. I don’t know if she is back. Ms. Mitchell, she is not here? Okay. Thank you. Mr. Amos, any issues with the schedule that was read on the record? And I think you are muted, Mr. Amos.
MR. AMOS: No, sir, no evidence -- no objections at all.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, sir. Mr. Daly, any issues?
MR. DALY: No it’s fine. Thanks.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Ms. Rubin?
MS. RUBIN: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I did communicate to my friends that I thought this was a very aggressive schedule, particularly given the substance of the application and the magnitude of the rate increase. So we will do our best to work within it and have agreed to the proposed schedule. I would express the caveat that upon -- if there is a need throughout the process to adjust the schedule, that the Board would be receptive to a motion if it proved to be necessary, but we will certainly attempt to work within the schedule that has been provided and the parties are agreeing to.
CHAIRPERSON: Well I appreciate your comments and, yes, I do agree that it is an aggressive schedule. However, that said, there are requirements under the legislation that requires us to set the rates at a certain point in time, so if at any point in time that you think that the schedule needs to be revised and you do feel that a notice of motion needs to be filed, I think we will entertain whatever needs to be filed and we will hear the arguments on behalf of the parties and make our decision at that point in time.
MS. RUBIN: Yes. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Ms. Gellner, any issues?
MS. GELLNER: No, issues for Liberty. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Hoyt?
MR. HOYT: That schedule looks fine.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Stoll?
MR. STOLL: No issues, sir.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Williams?
MR. WILLIAMS: No issues, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. So thank you all. I think it has been a long conversation. I mean, we are -- so when we started this. And I think it’s always difficult to come to a consensus on the schedule, so I appreciate the efforts that were -- that was done by all parties to try to arrive to the schedule that we have before us or which was read on the record.
So we are back in the in-person hearings. So this hearing will -- the probability that it is going to be held in Fredericton. And so now that we have the dates, Ms. Mitchell will be checking for a venue and will be providing to all the parties the location. It’s probability -- it’s probably going to be at the -- within the Convention Centre or at the Delta. So it is one of those two venues that we are currently looking at.
My understanding is from the intervener requests that were submitted by all of the parties, I think everybody submitted that it was the intention to proceed in the English language. So the Board will proceed in that language. However, that being said, if anybody feels that they need to address the Board in the French language, we will have simultaneous translation available. So if you feel more comfortable to address the Board in the French language you may do so.
On the number of days -- and again I am maybe going to canvass the parties. And I know that the parties basically said that they are setting aside nine days. I just want to be sure that we have enough time considering that the -- NB Power hasn’t been before the Board since 2020, if I am not mistaken. So, Mr. Furey, are you comfortable that nine days is enough time to present your case and have the interveners present their cases?
MR. FUREY: The number of interveners, Mr. Chair, does make it a challenge. And I think I would have been more comfortable with 10 days, but given the holiday on February 20th, I think, unless we want to extend into the following week, in terms of the additional costs -- because I understand once the facilities are booked those costs are pretty much sunk, I certainly have no objection if we carry over for an additional day in the following week. As always, it’s better to have days that you don’t need then to be in a circumstance where we actually don’t have time. Now having said that, I think nine days is sufficient. So I will leave that in the Board’s hands. But I do -- I think nine days is sufficient.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Gionet, any comment regarding the amount of days that we are setting aside?
MR. GIONET: None at the moment, no.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Ms. Wylie? You may need to unmute yourself, Ms. Wylie.
MS. WYLIE: None.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Amos, any comments regarding the number of days? And don’t forget to unmute yourself.
MR. AMOS: Those are fine with me.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Daly?
MR. DALY: Mr. Chairman, it’s fine.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Ms. Rubin?
MS. RUBIN: I think nine days should be sufficient.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Ms. Gellner?
MS. GELLNER: No concerns, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Mr. Hoyt?
MR. HOYT: It’s fine.
CHAIRPERSON: Mr. Stoll?
MR. STOLL: I think it should be sufficient at this time.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. And Mr. Williams?
MR. WILLIAMS: Yeah, no problem from my point of view. But if we did have to continue on, on the 27th and/or the 28th of February, I am available.
CHAIRPERSON: So to Mr. Furey’s comments and Mr. Williams’ comments, I think the parties shouldn’t book anything the following week, so if we need to continue the hearing on the 27th or 28th, I would ask you to maybe just leave those two dates free for now. To Mr. Furey’s comments is once we do book a venue, yes, the costs are sunk. And so I think what the Board will do is we will book the venue for nine days and if we need two additional days, we will at that point in time we will be able to maybe to schedule something else.
We did -- Ms. Herrington did speak about public forums. So normally we would have a public forum in the location maybe a day before the hearing starts. But the Board is -- we haven’t had any public forums in northern New Brunswick, so we are going -- well we are going to set aside -- we set aside two dates, I think it’s January the 23rd where the Board anticipates to have a public forum in Caraquet and the following day we will be in Grand Falls to have another public forum in Grand Falls. And we also anticipate having a virtual public forum that we will be holding on January 30th. Additional details regarding these forums will be available in the next month or two. And I would say that members of the public are encouraged to participate in these forums and to make oral submissions to the Board.
In relation to the application of NB Power, we do understand that not all people can spend nine days in a hearing and that’s the reason why we have these forums is to provide an opportunity to anybody to comment on the application that’s before the Board. And at that point in time, we will provide all parties how the Board will be proceeding with these two forums or these three forums.
Mr. Furey, are there any other issues the Board should be dealing with this morning -- or this afternoon?
MR. FUREY: No, I think this concludes what’s necessary for today, Mr. Chair. The only additional issue -- and I think we have mitigated it as much as we can by moving the hearing date to the 13th of February to give the Board as much time as possible to render a decision to get rates in place for April 1st. But if it becomes apparent throughout the process that that may not be possible, I just want to alert the Board and parties to the potential that NB Power may make an application for an interim rate relief in that eventuality.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Furey. Mr. Gionet, anything further on behalf of your organization?
MR. GIONET: None at the moment. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Gionet. Ms. Wylie, anything further on behalf of your coalition?
MS. WYLIE: Not for me.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Dr. Comeau is not here. Mr. Amos, anything further on your behalf?
MR. AMOS: No, nothing left for me.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. And, Mr. Daly, anything further?
MR. DALY: None. None, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Ms. Rubin?
MS. RUBIN: No, thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Ms. Gellner?
MS. GELLNER: No, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Hoyt?
MR. HOYT: Nothing further.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. And Mr. Stoll?
MR. STOLL: Nothing further.
CHAIRPERSON: Mr. Williams?
MR. WILLIAMS: No, nothing. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. And Ms. Herrington, anything further on behalf of the Board Staff?
MS. HERRINGTON: No, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Well thank you. Again, thank you very much for coming to a consensus on the proposed schedule. And so at this point in time the Board is going to adjourn the matter and we are going to reconvene at 1:30 with respect to Matter 529. Thank you. Have a good day, everyone.

............................................................
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, everyone. This is a Motion’s day in Matter 541 regarding the application by NB Power Corporation pursuant to subsection 103(1) of the Electricity Act for approval of the Schedule of Rates for the fiscal year commencing April 1st 2023.
The panel this morning consists of myself, Francois Beaulieu, I am joined by Members Heather Black and Stephanie Wilson.
So I will now take the appearances starting with NB Power Corporation.
MR. FUREY: Good morning, Mr. Chair, John Furey. I hope you can hear me. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, we can. Good morning, Mr. Furey. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business? Is Mr. Gauthier or Mr. Gionet here? So they are not present. Mr. Amos? I do see you on the screen, Mr. -- okay.
MR. AMOS: Yeah, I was muted, I guess.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay, good morning, Mr. Amos.
MR. AMOS: Good morning.
CHAIRPERSON: Mr. Daly, Mr. Gerald Daly? He is not here today. JD Irving, Limited?
MS. RUBIN: Good morning, Mr. Chair, Members of the Board, on behalf of JD Irving. I am also joined by my associate, Brianne Rudderham and Ms. Rudderham will be making the submissions this morning.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Ms. Rubin. Liberty Utilities? Is Mr. Volpé, Mr. Lavigne or Ms. Gellner? No one is here. Twin Rivers Paper Company?
MR. HOYT: Len Hoyt appearing for Twin Rivers, Mr. Chair. Good morning.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, sir. Utilities Municipal?
MR. STOLL: Good morning, sir, it is Scott Stoll.
CHAIRPERSON: And good morning, Mr. Stoll. The Public Intervener?
MR. WILLIAMS: Good morning, Mr. Beaulieu, Rick Williams, Acting Public Intervener.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Williams. New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board? Oh, Mr. Lawson, you are muted.
MR. LAWSON: Gary Lawson, good morning all. And with me is Dave Young and also Véronique Otis.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Lawson. So this morning the Board -- a Notice of Motion has been filed by JD Irving, Limited by Ms. Rubin and I understand, Ms. Rubin, that the basis for the motion is that in your view, NB Power has failed to provide, and I am just reading number one and two of your Notice of Motion.
Number one basically states that NB Power has failed to provide full and adequate responses to a number of JD Irving’s interrogatories as further particularized in your Notice of Motion and that the asserted claim for confidentiality is unsupported on the evidence and the records sought should be disclosed in the public interest. And I think, if I counted correctly, there is 11 items in your Notice of Motion. Is that accurate?
MS. RUBIN: Originally, Mr. Chair. However, we have reached a resolution with Mr. Furey with respect to all matters except to one, with respect to disclosure of preliminary reporting on the part of PwC. So it is a request for documentary productions.
CHAIRPERSON: So if I understand correctly, if I am looking at the first one, which is IR-03(a), so that has been resolved, is that accurate?
MS. RUBIN: I am going to let my associate, Ms. Rudderham, step up from here.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay, good, thank you.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Hi, Brianne Rudderham here. Sorry, could you repeat the question? I believe all that has been -- all that is before the Board this morning is response to interrogatory 3(b). All the rest have been resolved.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. So I am -- what I am going to do, Ms. Rudderham, is that how I pronounce your last name?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Rudderham.
CHAIRPERSON: Rudderham. So I apologize for that.
MS. RUDDERHAM: No worries.
CHAIRPERSON: So if I understand correctly, it is the second one in the Notice of Motion that hasn’t been resolved?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Correct.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. All right. So Mr. Furey, my understanding is that I think you just sent an email to -- a few minutes ago to Ms. Mitchell that there was still discussions on that subject so is that accurate or do you want to proceed to argument?
MR. FUREY: It was accurate. It is no longer accurate. We have tried our best, Mr. Chair, but the parties are not able to reach agreement so I think we have to proceed on them.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. And there is two documents that were just filed by yourself, Mr. Furey. So I think there is an Ontario Labour Relation Board decision that was filed. I am just wondering if all the parties have received it?
MR. FUREY: It was circulated to all parties by that email so I am assuming everyone has just received it in the last few minutes, Mr. Chair. The second document, which is an additional response to the interrogatory that is in question this morning. Other interveners and Board and Board Staff are just seeing that for the first time now but that was the subject of discussions between myself and Ms. Rubin and Ms. Rudderham this morning.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. So Ms. Rubin, do you need some time in order to review these documents or are you prepared to proceed?
MS. RUDDERHAM: This is Brianne Rudderham again. I think we are ready to proceed.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. All right.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Sorry, would you like me to start now?
CHAIRPERSON: I am just looking in my notes just to be sure that I am not forgetting anything.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Okay.
CHAIRPERSON: So just give me a minute, Ms. Rudderham.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Sorry.
CHAIRPERSON: So what we are going to do is the Board will hear first from JD Irving, Limited and then afterwards we will hear from Mr. Furey on behalf of NB Power. And afterwards, Ms. Rudderham, I will provide you a final opportunity if you have any additional arguments to make in response to Mr. Furey -- Mr. Furey’s submissions. And the Board intends to provide an oral decision today. So once we have heard the arguments, we will take a short recess -- or we will take a recess to evaluate the claim and the arguments and Ms. Mitchell will advise the parties once the Board is ready to read this oral decision. So Ms. Rudderham?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Good morning. I will start this morning by first providing a brief summary of the response that has been provided by NB Power to JD Irving’s interrogatory 3(b) and then I will outline NB Power’s obligations under the Rules of Procedure which it submitted have not been complied with. Then I will outline why this information and documentation requested is required in order for the interveners to have a full understanding of the application in evidence filed by NB Power, namely that one, PwC’s reporting to date appears to form the assumptions made by NB Power in this application, specifically the revenue requirement. Two, these recommendations or consultations with PwC have been used by NB Power in their preliminary form or whichever form they are currently in and three, that waiting for a final report to be produced in this matter will cause procedural unfairness.
So as mentioned by Ms. Rubin earlier, the request that is being made by JD Irving is a copy of the preliminary or draft reporting from PwC, which is NB Power’s consultant. The only response that has been provided to this interrogatory is NB Power’s cross reference to its response to Board Staff’s IR-11 sub questions (i) and (j), the contents of which do not include the draft reporting from PwC. All that has been provided is the mandate documents for PwC’s retention along with a summary of the progress which includes the themes that will be reflected in the ultimate cost optimization report.
NB Power has confirmed that a final report will be provided for cost optimization purposes in Q4 of the 2022/2023 fiscal year. We have just received confirmation that this report is actually coming from NB Power’s management and not PwC. The final report is not a PwC document.
Given the timeline that is being outlined, the report will either come immediately before the hearing that is currently scheduled for February or potentially afterwards. We still do not have a specific date as to when this final report is coming.
It is also worth noting that the main report coming out of PwC’s strategic planning consultation is also coming from NB Power, which will be a long term strategic plan that, again, we also do not have a copy of and is not currently completely. And it is not clear what date this report will come. It is also not clear what PwC’s deliverables will be in reference to this report.
So moving on to NB Power’s obligations under the Rules of Procedure. Under the Rules of Procedure, NB Power has an obligation to provide full answers to each IR submitted, and if they are unable to provide a response, they must have an explanation justifying that position. NB Power has not done either of these requirements. I would refer the Board to Rule 4.2.6(d) which clearly outlines that an IR response must provide a full and adequate response to each IR.
It is also important to note what the purpose of the interrogatory process in these types of matters, which is summarized at Rule 4.2.1. Interrogatories are intended to, one, clarify evidence, two, simplify the issues, three, permit a full and satisfactory understanding of the matter to be considered, and finally, expedite the proceeding.
If a response is not provided by a party in accordance with Rule 4.2.7, that party must provide one of the following, either a reason to support why the interrogatory itself is not relevant to the proceeding, two, reasons why the information is not available or cannot be made available with reasonable effort, and -- or three, an explanation for why a response cannot be given.
JD Irving submit that none of these exceptions apply in the circumstances. The information and documents requested are relevant to these proceedings and the interveners’ ability to understand NB Power’s proposed revenue requirement and the numbers contained therein.
The preliminary reporting of PwC are helpful in explaining the evidence filed, especially as it relates to the proposed cost savings under the operations, maintenance and administration tasks.
PwC’s involvement in both strategic planning and cost optimization appear to form the basis of a number of assumptions made by NB Power in reaching the proposed revenue requirement.
This leads me to our next submission that the information and reporting is needed for the parties to have a full and adequate understanding of the evidence filed in this matter.
JD Irving submits that PwC’s reporting is the factual foundation for a number of assumptions made in the application. PwC’s mandate documents have recently been provided and show that PwC’s consultations overlapped with many of the topics covered in this application.
For strategic planning, PwC has been retained for, among other things, research and assessments of internal and external business environments, industry trends and will include a detailed analysis of these topics, including strategic choices and implications that relate to strategic planning.
Again, the specific deliverables are not clear that will be provided from PwC to NB Power but the final report will be reflected in a long term strategic plan being drafted by NB Power management.
In relation to cost optimization, PwC has been retained to review both possible savings in OM&A and capital expenses. Again, the specific deliverables from PwC to NB Power is not clear, but as been confirmed this morning, the final cost optimization report is going to be a product from NB Power management and not PwC.
All of these areas are highly relevant to the contents of the revenue requirement that is being submitted by NB Power.
The relevance of the preliminary reporting from PwC is even more clear based on the numerous references to PwC’s involvement and work throughout the application and NB Power’s responses to IRs in this Matter. The number of times that PwC’s work is referenced suggests a strong likelihood that the assumptions that have been used in the application stem back to PwC’s recommendations or reporting in whatever form they may be.
In the application, PwC’s involvement is mentioned seven different times in the main application and also in the 3-year plan for 2024 and 2026. NB Power suggested that PwC’s cost optimization review has led to the inclusion of the $27.5 million improvement credit which is in the OM&A expenses under the revenue requirement. And more specifically, the $20 million credit that is in the corporate services heading.
In the 3-year plan, NB Power has confirmed that PwC is guiding NB Power’s management and board through a new strategic plan that they will use in the future as a road map. Again, it is not clear when this final long term strategic plan will be provided.
PwC’s preliminary involvement in reporting is further -- the importance of it is further confirmed through the responses of the IRs. Their involvement or anticipated reporting is referenced in 18 different IR responses, which is excluding the cross references which as in to the IR in question was a reference to the Board Staff’s IR. Many of the references are in relation to the cost optimization work and the proposed savings in the OM&A expenses.
The response that most clearly confirms PwC’s influence and the preliminary reporting influence over NB Power’s assumptions is Public Intervener’s IR-16(c). In that IR, NB Power was asked about where this $27.5 million placeholder came from to which NB Power states and I quote, without knowing specific outcomes of the initiatives and anticipating quick hits based on PwC’s experience with other such initiatives, management was comfortable with recording the credit in OM&A and thus in the revenue requirement to indicate that it is fully committed to reducing and managing costs.
Based on this response it can be assumed that PwC has provided some form of reporting to NB Power which has influenced this placeholder credit. It is submitted that the interveners ought to have the benefit of reviewing this reporting to verify the factual foundation in which management is now quote, unquote, comfortable with this placeholder.
Based on the repeated mention of PwC’s involvement or preliminary reporting, it is reasonable to conclude that these reports or information exists from PwC to NB Power, that they have been used by NB Power and that they form the factual foundation of the opinions that are being made by NB Power.
As with any opinion that is being made by NB Power, as an intervener, we need to know the factual basis of those opinions and whether they are well founded, especially in relation to the proposed revenue requirement. Interveners need to review these records to determine whether these proposed cost savings are either too optimistic or whether they are too conservative, in which case the revenue requirement may possibly be reduced.
The legitimacy of NB Power’s proposed costs and savings requires disclosure so that we as interveners can understand and test the assumptions and opinions that are foundational to the 8.9 percent rate increase that is requested in this application.
Moving on to the preliminary form being used. While we recognize that what we are asking for is preliminary or draft reporting, it is submitted that this form of reporting has been used by NB Power, whether it may be labelled as preliminary or draft. Having the final results or the final reports in the strategic plan or the cost optimization report may be better for reviewing what these assumptions are based on, however, that is not what NB Power has used to date and as we now know, the final reporting is actually not coming from PwC at all, so the reporting in its preliminary form is all that will be coming from PwC.
NB Power has also not had the report or the benefit of reviewing final reports, but they have had the benefit of the draft preliminary reporting and it is submitted that the interveners ought to have the same benefit. We can only speculate at this point what the preliminary reporting or communication from PwC looks like, but there is no doubt that this preliminary reporting or recommendations from PwC has, at the very least, influenced to some degree the $27.5 million placeholder credit in the OM&A expenses. This alone justifies why this is significantly relevant in this Matter, and why the preliminary reporting is needed to clarify the evidence that is being filed.
In respect to timing, the disclosure of the preliminary reporting would be in the best interest of procedural fairness due to the late filing of the proposed final reports, that being the cost optimization report and the long term strategic plan. It is submitted that disclosing the preliminary reporting from PwC would be more probative than it is prejudicial.
It is anticipated the NB Power’s position will be that the disclosure should wait until the final reports. But again, I would refer the Board back to the relevant rules, an anticipated final report does not preclude the relevance of the preliminary reporting from PwC. As I have outlined, PwC is actually not drafting the final report and all that PwC will be reporting will be in this draft form or preliminary form. There is no other form of data that is coming from PwC that could be reviewed by interveners.
The preliminary or draft reporting, in whatever form it is in, will provide a better understanding of the revenue requirement that is currently being drafted by -- or that is currently drafted by NB Power while the final report is not available.
Again, we don’t have a specific date for when these final reports will be provided but there is indication that they will be provided in Q4 of the current fiscal year, meaning it will either be immediately before the hearing or potentially after the hearing. This data is highly relevant, as I have outlined, and should be provided at the earliest possible date, especially given the abbreviated timelines in these proceedings.
Again, if this reporting or communication or consultation from PwC has been used by NB Power in reaching the revenue requirement, as currently filed, which it is submitted is likely, the interveners ought to have an opportunity to review the factual basis for those assumptions made and have the benefit of the preliminary reporting from PwC.
To conclude, since NB Power appears to have based some of the assumptions made in the application on PwC’s expertise or preliminary reporting, they should be required to respond to JD Irving’s request for the preliminary reports that have been used to date. Waiting until the final report to review will not provide sufficient time to the parties to review, consider and question the legitimacy of NB Power’s proposed costs and savings prior to the scheduled hearing. These reports are necessary to understand and clarify the evidence to date and the revenue requirement which furthers the purpose of the interrogatory process as outlined in the Rules of Procedure.
Subject to any questions from the Board, that concludes JD Irving’s submissions today.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Ms. Rudderham. Ms. Black, do you have any questions for Ms. Rudderham?
MS. BLACK: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a clarifying question. Ms. Rudderham, I only had a brief opportunity to review the proposed additional response that Mr. Furey circulated, but I seem to recall in it a statement suggesting that the preliminary reports that you are seeking, at least in NB Power’s view, don’t exist, and I guess in listening to your argument, I heard you use the words preliminary reporting several times and then a few times, sort of extending that characterization to information and expertise. Can you just sort of directly address that characterization of the work of PwC as not -- not rising to the threshold of the report? That is what I got from Mr. Furey’s additional response. Can you just address that a little bit directly for me, please?
MS. RUDDERHAM: So without having the benefit of actual reviewing what the communication has been between PwC and NB Power, our understanding at this point is that there is some form of communication in the form of analyzing the data that has been provided. And referring to the additional response that has been provided by Mr. Furey this morning, if you look at the last three items listed there, so it is near the middle of the page where it says that --
CHAIRPERSON: Ms. Rudderham, if I may just -- I am going to ask Ms. Mitchell to put that on the screen so everybody can --
MS. RUDDERHAM: Sorry, yes.
CHAIRPERSON: -- have an opportunity what you are looking at, and maybe just --
MS. RUDDERHAM: There, right there. Yeah. So this suggests that there is some form of analysis --
CHAIRPERSON: So can you just tell us what you are looking at?
MS. RUDDERHAM: I am looking at -- see the bullet points that say 3, 4 and 5 right there?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes.
MS. RUDDERHAM: So that is suggesting that there is analysis of the data by NB -- or by PwC being provided to NB Power, that there is identification of cost optimization opportunities and development of priority initiative charters. So that data -- or sorry, that preliminary reporting, and that is just how I am referring to it this morning, will be coming from or has already come from PwC and is being given to NB Power, which will form the basis of the final cost optimization report, which as I stated, is actually being drafted by NB Power.
So we haven’t had an opportunity to review any of this analysis or -- I guess I have been using the phrase information, either, but it is forming the basis of a number of assumptions that are being used by NB Power in reaching things such as cost savings.
In relation to the strategic planning portion of PwC’s consultation, it is not as clear what type of deliverables will be provided or how that information is being communicated to NB Power. I would assume it is fairly similar to these last three descriptions and analysis of the data that is being provided from NB Power to PwC, identification of different strategic planning opportunities. But again, that is purely speculative because we haven’t had the opportunity to review any of the strategic planning things either. So when I am referring to information, it would be things that are contained in whatever form they are reporting from PwC is going to NB Power.
Does that answer your question, Ms. Black?
MS. BLACK: It does. Thank you very much.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Okay.
MS. BLACK: Mr. Chair, I don’t have any more questions.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, Ms. Black. Ms. Wilson, do you have any questions for Ms. Rudderham?
MS. WILSON: No, I didn’t have any questions. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Ms. Rudderham, I am going to ask the chief clerk to put on the screen your Notice of Motion. And I would like to specifically look at your item number 12 where your client is repeating its comments above with respect to the confidentiality claim over the documents in response to NBEUB IR-11(i).
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yeah.
CHAIRPERSON: And so just wondering if you can maybe -- I am not clear if that still stands or not because I do notice that your paragraph 53 that you have a claim there in order to dismiss the claim for confidentiality regarding this specific IR. So is that claim still -- are you still relying on that claim?
MS. RUDDERHAM: No, so the mandate documents have been provided, which include -- well it looks like presentations or like a pitch that was provided from PwC to NB Power, but that is the only documentation we have received. They are -- those documents have been provided, so that no longer stands. There is no issue with confidentiality from JD Irving’s perspective at this point.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. So I just want to be clear, if I am looking at your paragraph 53.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Sorry.
CHAIRPERSON: Because you did talk about optimization and cost optimization. I just want to be clear that those four documents that are listed there, they have been satisfied, have they?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yes, those four documents have been provided.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. So the claim that you have right now regarding this specific issue is it is just preliminary -- in your view, it is preliminary documents that you think that exists between PwC and NB Power?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yes, Mr. Chair. It is arguable that the documents that we are requesting are not actually preliminary as they are forming the basis of the final report that is actually being drafted by NB Power. So what is happening between the data or the reporting from PwC that is being put into the final reporting -- sorry, is in its final form. So whatever PwC is reporting to NB Power is going to be used in some form and there is nothing additional that is coming from PwC that will form a final report that the interveners get to review.
CHAIRPERSON: So and did I hear you correctly that you are saying that the final report will not be provided by PwC, is that your view?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Correct. That is my understanding as of this morning, that both the cost optimization report, that is the final report coming out of the cost optimization review is actually being -- it is a product from NB Power’s management, it is not a product from PwC. So the reporting that will be flowing into that final report from PwC to NB Power is all that will be coming from PwC and the interveners aren’t going to have an opportunity to review it if we are only looking at the final report unless the final report specifically appends those reports.
And the same with the strategic planning. But again, I don’t know at this point what the deliverables have been or will be from PwC to NB Power in relation to strategic planning.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you.
MS. RUDDERHAM: And just to further clarify, the documents that are coming from PwC to NB Power appears to be the foundation of what the final cost optimization report of cost reductions estimates are currently in the application.
As we previously looked at the three items that are included in the additional responses, the analysis, the identification of opportunities and the charters appears to be what the deliverables are in relation to the cost optimization work which JD Irving would say is highly relevant to the application as it currently stands and will inform the final cost optimization report that will come in Q4.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. And just -- I am just looking at the Rules of Procedure, Ms. Rudderham.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yes.
CHAIRPERSON: And I am looking at the piece of -- the document that Mr. Furey has provided us entitled, additional response to JDI IR-3(b). So can you just tell me how this document does not comply to Rule 4.2.6?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Well we would argue that it is not a full and satisfactory answer or adequate answer. It doesn’t actually provide the documents that are currently being requested. All it is providing is what the cost optimization documents would look like, so what type of deliverables would be included.
I apologize, if you --
CHAIRPERSON: No, if you need a little bit of time just to think about the question. I mean, it is just to help me out where you are -- what your thoughts are regarding -- because you did -- at the beginning you did talk about 4.2.6 and 4.2.7 in the Rules --
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yeah.
CHAIRPERSON: -- and I just want to clear that I understand correctly your position regarding Rule 4.2.6.
MS. RUDDERHAM: So first, JD Irving’s request is for the current reporting from PwC to NB Power. This response does not provide any additional reporting which is what the actual request is. If anything, I think it supports JD Irving’s submissions that this reporting from PwC to NB Power is highly relevant.
Again, it confirms that the cost optimization review or final report is not going to be from PwC, and that there is or there will be -- again, I am not sure of what the status of the reporting is, that it includes analysis of the data by PwC, that there is identified cost optimization opportunities that is being drafted by PwC to NB Power and development of priority initiative charters.
So what this appears to confirm is that these types of documents do exist or will exist, that it is going to inform this final cost optimization report that is being provided by NB Power and that these -- this analysis from PwC is already currently informing the assumptions that are made by NB Power under the revenue requirement and will also be the factual foundation for a lot of the cost optimization report that is going to be completed by NB Power management.
Again, this doesn’t actually clarify what the deliverables are in reference to the strategic planning. This is only touching on the cost optimization review which is only part of what PwC’s mandate is.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. Well thank you, Ms. Rudderham. Mr. Furey.
MR. FUREY: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Let me start by -- Mr. Chair, by pointing to the Board to the interrogatory in question, JDI IR-3. And I think it is important for the Board to review the reference in that IR. The reference is not to any strategic planning. The reference -- I will read it to you from the evidence, from NB Power’s evidence. The reference is, to help deal with these rising expenses, NB Power is committed to reducing costs and has engaged PwC Canada to identify all possible opportunities without compromising on reliability, safety or affordability.
So the interrogatory is not directed to the strategic planning part of things. It is directed only to the cost optimization piece. If JDI had intended the scope to be broader, they should have said so. And NB Power has approached this entire process as it relates only to the cost optimization documentation. So that is the first point.
Secondly, I think Ms. Black has really hit a critical point, and that is that the -- as framed in the request in the interrogatory, provide a copy of any preliminary or draft reports provided by PwC to NB Power. Well, those documents do not exist and will never exist. There is not a draft report. There will not be a final report from PwC.
What there is is a process. And what we have attempted to do in this additional response is outline for the Board or parties what that process is. This is not like the Board has seen in many cases before, it is not a third party review of accounting policies or depreciation policies or overhead studies. It is not that kind of an expert report. It is a process. And that process -- and we have tried to summarize it -- that process involves obviously a request by PwC to NB Power for information, the provision of information and a great deal of data, follow up requests by PwC, analysis of that data by PwC and then leading to identification of cost opportunities, cost optimization opportunities, and development of these charters, these priority initiative charters, which are essentially just how you might go about achieving some of these cost optimization opportunities.
But in the next paragraph below those five bulleted points, in the next paragraph what we are saying is it is an incomplete process. NB Power, this is an iterative process where we are engaged with PwC. What is missing to date and has not been accomplished to date is costing initiatives that are identified in the PwC documentation, in the NB Power documentation.
And so to require disclosure at this point, really what the motion has turned into is not a disclosure of the report or a draft report, effectively what JDI is asking for is disclosure of a process which is not yet complete. And in our submission, the Board ought not to order that.
One of the critical issues here, and Ms. Rudderham keeps coming back to it, is to say that parties ought to have disclosure of this now because this forms the basis of assumptions in the revenue requirement. And that is simply not the case. NB Power has stated very clearly the $27.5 million as a placeholder consists of two parts. One is $7.5 million, which has been in NB Power’s revenue requirement for some time an annual placeholder of $7.5 million as part of its commitment to ongoing continuous improvement. And $20 million, which arises solely from NB Power management’s best estimates as to what the PwC cost optimization review might disclose.
That $20 million estimate was not made on the recommendation of PwC and the documentation that exists will not relate to $20 million. It is a process aimed at identifying cost optimization opportunities. Yet to come is the process of identifying the costs of implementing them. And at this point NB Power does not know what the outcome of the review will be in terms of providing a potential number for cost savings. That will not be known until NB Power’s management report to its board of directors is finalized.
So the assumption that Ms. Rudderham is referring to is simply incorrect.
The only other issue I would like to draw to the Board’s attention, you know, this is not a case -- this is not an expert report, there is no litigation privilege that attaches to this. And so it is pretty difficult to find cases dealing with production of draft reports outside the litigation privilege context.
But the case that I have provided to the Board is an Ontario Labour Relations Board decision. And I am not going to go to it in a lot of detail. But essentially what was going on there is that there were -- there was a draft report of issues facing the union in this case and there was disclosure sought of draft reports.
Ms. Mitchell, if we could scroll down on that to there is a section where the draft report is specifically dealt with. It is probably at the bottom of the second page.
There it is. So starting at paragraph 10, I would recommend to the Board paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 of the decision. And essentially what the Ontario Labour Board says is draft reports are -- in this context are not relevant because what is relevant is the output of the process, the output of the reports. And you know, the Board clearly understood that in a litigation context, parties will want to gain access to reports to see if they can drive a wedge between oh, the draft said this and the final said something different. Or the draft hade a section that is not in the final. And what the Board says here is that is -- that is not a justification for producing draft reports in this context. As the Board says in paragraph 12, the real question is whether the data stands up. And that is NB Power’s submission here. What really matters is at the end of the process, does the cost optimization estimates coming out of that, do they stand up to the Board’s scrutiny.
But it does not assist the process one bit to obligate NB Power to produce a pretty significant volume of documents. I am not even sure exactly what the request is in terms of documents that would have to be produced. But it is not assisting the Board’s process when there is not even a costing of what these initiatives might take and whether they are cost effective.
So the last point is as I say, I am not exactly sure the volume of disclosure that is being sought here. Is it a request for every piece of correspondence, every email by which information was provided by NB Power, and then some input from an employee of PwC saying well yes, but we should add this? It is -- this is a process. It is not a single document. There is many charters, there is many pieces of communication, there is a lot of analysis. And so if the Board is inclined to grant the motion, I think the Board has to grapple with specifically what is being requested and ordered to be produced.
So those are our submissions, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Mr. Furey. Ms. Black, any questions for Mr. Furey?
MS. BLACK: Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Furey, I heard your submissions and the one thing I haven’t yet heard is a response to what Ms. Rudderham suggested that one of the reasons that JD Irving requires the work product from PwC is because, at least in their view, the final report that will be a product of NB Power, not PwC, will not have the reflections of PwC’s work product in it and so therefore, this may be parties’ only opportunity to use PwC’s evaluations in their, you know, assessment of how NB Power put the revenue requirement together. So would you mind addressing that, please?
CHAIRPERSON: Mr. Furey, you are muted.
MR. FUREY: Thanks, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Ms. Black. I think that is an excellent question. It is important for the Board to understand the process of how these types of reviews go. NB Power has a working group as part of this review. PwC is an important supporting part of that working group. The charters that are referred to, the identification of the cost optimization opportunities, the analysis of the data, all of that will be part of NB Power’s management’s report to its board of directors.
And so I would suggest the criticism, if it is a criticism, is without merit because PwC’s expertise and its identification of these underlying issues is an important part of NB Power’s report to its board of directors. So all of that information will be covered off in the final report.
MS. BLACK: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Furey.
CHAIRPERSON: No more questions, Ms. Black?
MS. BLACK: No more. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. All right. Ms. Wilson?
MS. WILSON: I just have one for Mr. Furey and it is more just a follow up to Ms. Black’s questioning around the process. And Mr. Furey, you mentioned that there is a working group that is looking at, you know, which charters, which elements to develop, I guess, would probably be the case. Maybe you could just give me a little bit of -- maybe provide a little bit more information on the process itself and maybe how that working group then develops the different direction that it would go in for the charters.
MR. FUREY: I may be at the limit of my knowledge of the process, Ms. Wilson, but I will try my best here. So my understanding of the working group is that it is a cooperative meeting of the NB Power individuals who are on the project and PwC’s representatives as part of their engagement. And the process is that, as I have said earlier, PwC has requested information, NB Power has provided information and data, there were follow up requests and then PwC went away for a period of time, conducted analysis on that. That analysis was provided to the working group and as part of -- you know, there is ongoing discussions at the working group level of what optimization, opportunities are appropriate to pursue, what are appropriate to develop charters around and that is the process, as I understand it, that the working group is engaged in. So it is a cooperative process. You know, hugely supported by PwC. I don’t want to understate that, but it is a cooperative process because, of course, PwC does not have knowledge of the utility, and that is important -- an important perspective to bring to bear in these kinds of initiatives.
And you know, I think if you look at the -- I don’t have the exact page reference, but if you look at the PwC proposal that -- around the cost optimization initiative, one of the things they recognize is sensitivity to the culture, not engaging in a slash and burn type approach that results in some immediate cost reductions that are simply not sustainable. And so that is why it has to be a collaborative approach because NB Power management has experience with previous initiatives. NB Power went through an Alexander Proudfoot initiative. I can’t remember what year but some time ago. And so there is an understanding, a factual understanding of the organization that is also required as part of this analysis.
So I think I am at the limit of my knowledge of the process, Ms. Wilson. I hope that has been of some assistance to you, but if you have any specific follow up, I will try to answer as best I can.
MS. WILSON: Just as a quick follow up, and I know this is probably at the limit as well. From a perspective of developing the charters, I am assuming the working group meets on a regular basis and as you develop the charters, there is some kind of vetting process to say, let’s move ahead with a charter. Have you been in that -- has the working group been in that stage now of the project where they are actually now developing the charters?
MR. FUREY: My understanding is that the answer to that would be yes, that there have been charters developed, and what is lacking and is next to come in the process is -- because the charter simply identifies, this is an area for examination of cost optimization. And that might be cost reduction, but it also might be -- it might be making sure the budgeting is better. It is not always cost reduction.
And the part of the process that is missing and will take place in the early part of the new year is developing that costing for pursuing that particular charter. So yes, there is a charter that says here is a cost optimization opportunity. What is lacking is there is no information right now on what it would cost to pursue it.
So there is nothing there that would enable anyone looking at it today to say, oh yeah, there is a net benefit available or at least in the minds of the people who formed the charter, there is a net benefit available at this point. That doesn’t exist yet.
MS. WILSON: Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: So thank you, Ms. Wilson. A couple of questions, Mr. Furey. First of all, it is not a question, it is more of a critique, and I think you have appeared before this Board a number of times and you know, providing some case law 15 minutes before or 10 minutes before we started a hearing of a motion, I think to be fair to Ms. Rudderham, I think this practice should not be something that your client should continue. I mean, it is -- pretty sure you understand what I am criticizing about.
MR. FUREY: Absolutely, Mr. Chair. I fully accept the criticism. Not by way of explaining it away, but all I can say to the Board is that over the weekend and even early this morning, the focus was on an attempted resolution, and so I certainly apologize to the Board and Ms. Rudderham and to the extent that any additional time is required, obviously, I will consent to it.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. So I am just looking at your response to -- your additional response to JDI IR-3(b), and I will ask Ms. Mitchell to maybe to put that on the screen. And I am looking at item 3, 4 and 5. Can you explain to the Board number 3, I am looking at number 3 where it says analysis of data by PwC provided to NB Power. What does that look like and has that part been provided to the parties? You are muted, sir.
MR. FUREY: Thank you. It has not been provided that -- and I don’t know exactly what that analysis looks like. I can give you a semi-informed view of what it might look like. It is a bunch of data that is provided by NB Power around the areas identified in the contract documentation.
I presume PwC does analysis on that to identify opportunities. So I can tell you -- I can give you an example of something which again points to part of the problem with a disclosure of a work in progress. So one of the things, for example, and I will take legal services because it is one that I am more familiar with. One of the data -- pieces of data analysis that would be done, for example, if the legal services was up for review by PwC, they would look and say something like, well, there is no tracking of time by the in-house lawyers. And so we identify that as being 100 percent opportunity for cost optimization because -- and the assumption underlying that is because the time is not tracked, that there is no productive work being done. And of course, we know that is not true, but that is the type of data analysis on a much larger scale that PwC would be engaged in. Looking at -- and I don’t want to restrict it to just tracking of time, but taking tracking of time across the organization. Tracking of time by operators at Lepreau and other generating stations and identifying is there cost optimization potential there because we don’t know, based on time reporting, what those people are doing with every hour of the day. So it is that kind of a data analysis that would be done to identify where opportunities might lie. But as I say, that is part of the problem with requiring production of a work in progress is there is going to be all kinds of that stuff so that the data analysis would be, we have identified this. And in the working group context, I assume the conversation would be, well, you know, we can’t start from the assumption that that means there is 100 percent opportunity for optimization of the cost of the legal group simply because they don’t track their time.
So there is a lot of that kind of granular data analysis to identify opportunities leading to discussion that then goes to the next phase which is, which of the cost optimization that the data might disclosure are realistic.
CHAIRPERSON: So in your view what you are saying is that this is not relevant to the application that is being brought forward and that that information shouldn’t be provided to the interveners in order to test the evidence that is before the Board?
MR. FUREY: There is no evidence before the Board right now with respect to the cost optimization initiative. That evidence will be the report.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. So the --
MR. FUREY: And that is -- and I don’t want to repeat myself, but I think that is one of the assumptions that underlies the motion that the 20 million or the 27 million -- 27 and a half million dollar of placeholder in the NB Power revenue requirement is directly linked to the output of the PwC process. It was not estimated on the basis of that process.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. So if we look at number 4 which talks about identification of cost optimization opportunities, is there any documents that exist currently that talks -- that refers to that specific point?
MR. FUREY: There would be -- there would be quite a bit of documentation, yes.
CHAIRPERSON: And that -- in my understanding, that hasn’t been provided on the public record, has it?
MR. FUREY: No, because like I say, at the time that NB Power filed its evidence, that documentation didn’t exist or much of it didn’t exist, and it has not been part of the -- I would submit it hasn’t been part of the request to date.
CHAIRPERSON: All right. So what -- and you are talking about there is some documents that exist, what is the form -- what does it look like?
MR. FUREY: The form of the documents, so there would be -- there would hundreds of pages of documentation consisting of data or PwC’s data analysis. There would be a lot more documentation, electronic documentation which would form the data. And there would be documentation that identifies cost optimization opportunities and there would -- you know, the process is far enough along now, as I indicated to Ms. Wilson, that there are -- there are these priority initiative charters, those documents exist today in some form. What they don’t include though -- they are not final because they don’t include any costing of what it would take to perform those initiatives.
CHAIRPERSON: And you talked about charters, can you just explain to me what those charters -- so how does -- what do those charters look like?
MR. FUREY: I will have to refer -- I think it might be helpful if I can just get the reference.
CHAIRPERSON: And I think there is more than one charter, if I understand correctly from your conversation that you had with Ms. Wilson.
MR. FUREY: Mr. Chair, I am just trying to pull up documents so that I can refer. So if I could ask Ms. Mitchell to bring up the document. It is one of the four documents that was provided. It is essentially the contract documentation, and it is NBEUB IR-11(i)(c) attachment. And if you could go to page 5 of that document, Ms. Mitchell.
So while this document doesn’t disclose the actual charters, Mr. Chair, if you look under the third column in the orange, it says developed priority initiative charters, and then go down to the third bullet, it will indicate what the charters look like. So it is an opportunity description, an anticipation of the size of the benefit, not including costing, by the way, time to benefit realization, the form of the benefit realization, what dependencies might exist, and what else might need to be done. What governance might need to be followed, and what KPIs would need to be put in place to ensure that the charter is able to be achieved.
So that is kind of -- so that is what those documents look like.
CHAIRPERSON: So do you know how many charters exist currently, Mr. Furey? Is there more than one?
MR. FUREY: There is more than one. I just -- I would say that at a very broad level, there is probably at least five. And if the Board -- if that -- I wouldn’t want the Board to rely too much on this. I would say there are five broad charters, but I would be more comfortable if I went back and reviewed documentation to tell the Board that.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. No, I just wanted to have an estimation in your view. And so I won’t take you that there is only five documents and then there might be less than five documents, I understand from your response, or there might be more than five documents?
MR. FUREY: I think it is around five. But they are sort of larger -- you know, one charter might be, for example, involving the Point Lepreau Generating Station. So it might be quite a large document.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Anything further, Mr. Furey?
MR. FUREY: No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Ms. Rudderham, do you have anything further?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yes, Mr. Chair. I would like to clarify a few different items that have been mentioned by my friend in his submissions.
So first, JD Irving’s reference that is related to the IR in question. First, I want to clarify that the reason why the request was made for the draft or preliminary reports in relation to the cost optimization is we did not have an opportunity prior to last week to review the mandate documents. So it was not clear to us what the actual mandate for PwC was in that it involves two separate categories or two separate topics, main topics, strategic planning and then also cost optimization, and that they were completely separate. So we have asked for the preliminary reports from PwC. We weren’t aware of what those would have looked like.
In relation to Mr. Furey’s submission that there are no specific documents that exist, that it is an iterative process, and that a lot of this involves a small working group in relation to cost optimization, although we can’t know for sure, and it is slightly speculative as to what this looks like, and my friend has outlined, you know, different types of documents that exist, including hundreds of pages documents of data from PwC and the charters itself, there is written records of some form coming from PwC to NB Power which could be produced. It is not that there is nothing to produce, there are things to produce, and they are forming, we would submit, assumptions under the revenue requirement currently, and they will be the factual basis for the final reports.
I would also refer the Board to multiple IR responses from NB Power which would suggest that a final report is coming from PwC. We have learned only as of this morning that the final report is not being drafted by PwC, it is being provided by NB Power. So that is the reason why the types of documents we were looking for were preliminary or draft because we thought there would be a final one coming.
We have now learned there is no final one coming, and that the documents that are being provided to PwC currently are in their form that they are in, and they are not going to be finalized in PwC in the future.
I would also highlight that Mr. Furey has indicated that there will be or that there currently are hundreds of pages of documents or document analysis -- or data analysis. You know, I think that this furthers our point that providing the final -- or waiting for the final report only days or a week or maybe even after the hearing would not be in the interest of procedural fairness if a significant number of documents are, you know, provided to the interveners only days beforehand that does not provide procedural fairness especially if these documents exist currently and have not been provided and are forming the basis of a number of assumptions currently.
Now I haven’t had a full opportunity to review and note of the case that has been provided, but I would note just in my brief reading of the case prior to making my submissions that the documents that are being requested are more akin to the data reference in that case and not the draft reports. Again, there is no final report that is coming or that is currently drafted from PwC. It is actual data or analysis of data from PwC that is being given to NB Power and will form their final report. So there is nothing that, to our knowledge, would be changing in the final report from PwC’s perspective. And again, we can only speculate what those look like at this point.
JD Irving would be happy to provide, you know, supplemental submissions on case law, if necessary, but we don’t believe that is necessary at this point given that the case that has been provided in our perspective can be distinguished on a number of points.
CHAIRPERSON: Well based on that last comment, I am going to interrupt you here, Ms. Rudderham.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yeah.
CHAIRPERSON: Considering that Mr. Furey only filed this case this morning, do you wish time to review it and to make submissions or are you okay that the Board considers the case that has been provided with the submissions that you just made?
MS. RUDDERHAM: I would like an opportunity to review and given the opportunity to provide additional case law, but I don’t want to confirm whether there would be additional cases at this point or not, I wouldn’t be able to say.
CHAIRPERSON: So are you requesting that we adjourn this and wait until we provide you some time to comment on the case, because as I stated, it is the Board’s intention to take a recess and deliberate on the arguments that were provided by yourself and Mr. Furey, but --
MS. RUDDERHAM: I --
CHAIRPERSON: -- just to provide -- just to be fair with your client, if you do need some time, I am providing you that opportunity this morning.
MS. RUDDERHAM: I have spoken to my friend, counsel for the Public Intervener, who has referred me to a case, but I haven’t had an opportunity to review. I am not sure if he is going to be provided an opportunity to speak or make submissions, but I can provide you with a case that he has provided to me. I am not sure if that is a possibility or not.
CHAIRPERSON: Well let’s take half hour so you can maybe review those submissions and afterwards what we will do is we will reconvene at 11:15 and I will hear you on the -- on any submissions that you have regarding the case that was provided by NB Power.
MS. RUDDERHAM: I apologize. Did you say 11:15?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes. So I will give you a half hour to review it.
MS. RUDDERHAM: All right. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: So is that enough time or do you need more time than that?
MS. RUDDERHAM: I think that will be sufficient.
CHAIRPERSON: And to your point if the Board will be hearing from any other parties, the answer to your question is no, normally what we do is we just hear from the parties that have an interest on the motion which is, again, JDI and NB Power. So we will not be hearing from the other parties.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Okay. Thank you for clarifying, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. So we will take a short recess and we will reconvene at 11:15.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you.
(Recess)
CHAIRPERSON: Ms. Rudderham, are you prepared to continue?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yes, Mr. Chair, I can. Just apologies, I am just trying to find -- sort through my notes.
Okay. So before we went off on break, I have had an opportunity to look through the decision that has been provided, and I would provide the following submissions in regards to that case.
First, I think -- or JD Irving takes the position that it is clearly distinguishable from the circumstances. Number one, it is in a completely different jurisdiction and different rules apply. It is submitted that the Board should rather look to the actual rules for procedure that apply in these circumstance which outline what the exceptions can be or should be for non-disclosure of documents or non-responsiveness to an IR made, namely that is not relevant or cannot be produced.
Number two, in that case what the party was actually looking for was documents that -- draft documents that went in to a final report that was provided. So here I think it is important to highlight that there is no final report, and again as we have learned today, there will not be any final report coming from PwC. The reporting that is being provided to NB Power from PwC is ongoing, and a number of those documents appear to underlie many of the assumptions and while my friend has indicated that things may change in the final report, again, I think it is important to highlight that the final report is coming from NB Power, not PwC and PwC’s reporting is as it stands when -- again, we can only speculate as to what the contents may be.
My friend has also indicated that a number of those documents relate to data or assessment of data and proposed charters. And looking at the case that has been provided, I think that the circumstances is more analogous to the second points made in that decision in which the Board actually orders the party to produce the data that underlies the report, because it is relevant and it is important for the basis of the opinions made.
I think that this is also akin to the circumstances of a number of cases, including in New Brunswick, in which parties have been asked to produce data that underlines an expert opinion. I recognize that the -- apologies -- the opinions from PwC are not being put forward as an expert, but the opinions of NB Power are being put forward in calculating the revenue requirement and as is suggested in the evidence, that these opinions are based on, at least partially, the data or the analysis of the data provided by PwC and the recommendations provided by PwC.
Now as I understand it, my friend has raised a couple of issues with disclosing the records that have been provided. One, that they either don’t exist or that there is too many documents to produce. It is not 100 percent clear what exactly the deliverables are, but it appears that there is at least data being provided, analysis of data and a number of charters. These are all relevant to the proceedings and going back to the Rules of Procedure, there does not appear to be any reason why the documents cannot be disclosed at this point.
And highlighting our submissions in regards to procedural fairness. Again, it appears that the final report will be coming either shortly before the final hearing in this Matter or potentially afterwards. And it would not be procedurally fair to drop a number of documents only days before the hearing for the parties to review, consider, test, which underlie a number of the assumptions made by NB Power in the revenue requirement. This could potentially lead to an adjournment of the hearing if the parties are not given a fair opportunity to review. Again, there does not appear to be any reason why these documents cannot be produced at this point.
And while I respect that the Board has taken the position that no other parties are able to provide submissions in relation to the request for documents, I do think it is important to highlight that a number of the responses provided by NB Power relate to the reporting of PwC, and on a number of occasions, has indicated that a final report is coming. While it is not clear that the report would have been coming from PwC or NB Power, there is an allusion that there was a final report coming from PwC, which is why, as I have stated, we requested draft documents or preliminary reporting from PwC.
I would -- my friend did refer to our IR responses, and I would call the Board’s attention to -- sorry, NB Power’s responses to JDI’s IR-3(c) in which it was requested that -- sorry, if the Board is able to just pull that reference up. Thank you. So as you can see, JD Irving has requested a copy of the final PwC report as well and in response all that was stated was that the report is expected to be completed in Q4 2022/2023. Although it is not explicit, this does seem to suggest that a final report was coming from PwC, which again highlights why it is so relevant for the data that underlies the final report be provided in the interim.
There are a number of other IRs that reflect the same. That includes the response to IR to the Board Staff, IR number 11, sub question (j). This again states that a final report was coming and that the themes were reflected as listed.
I would also refer the Board to the Utilities Municipal IR response to 11 2. And in that IR -- apologies, I am just pulling it up here.
CHAIRPERSON: Well I will ask Ms. Mitchell to also pull that up, Ms. Rudderham.
MS. RUDDERHAM: Thank you. So in this IR, a reference is made again to the $27.5 million improvement credit, and the question reads, when will the results of the PwC cost optimization exercise become available? If no exact date, does NB Power anticipate the results will be available by the time of the hearing of the GRA application? And the response again reads, results from the PwC cost optimization exercise are expected to be available Q4 2022/2023. Yes, NB Power anticipates the results will be available by the time of the hearing. Again, it is not clear on when that would come, but it suggests that a final report or data from PwC would be coming. As of today, we are getting a bit of a different impression of what actually that final report will look like and what it will include in relation to what reporting from PwC is provided.
Since we are, you know, pulling up the IR responses, I think it may be worthwhile pulling up the response to the Board Staff’s IR-11(j) as well as I just had briefly summarized. Are we able to just bring that up? Thank you so much.
Again, the question is, please provide an update on the progress of PwC’s work. And the response includes, PwC is in the process of finalizing the report which will provide NB Power with the areas of opportunity. Again, this deliverable remains unclear and seems to contradict with some of the reporting that has come in today. The preliminary themes will be validated by NB Power management.
Again, this confirms that there will be some sort of exchange of a report or something of that nature that will be reviewed and validated by NB Power’s management. And then it goes on to state that the final report is expected to be completed by Q4 and the preliminary themes will include as follows.
Again, it is not completely explicit, but it does suggest that there is additional reporting coming, but as we have learned today, the data or the analysis of the data and the charters are coming from PwC and have already come from PwC and the actual final report is being drafted by NB Power management.
I think this highlights again how important this is to all the other stakeholders or ratepayers here. And in terms of allowing submissions from other parties, this isn’t a strictly adversarial process but it is a regulatory one that engages public interests. And we will rely on questions and answers in other IRs in the same way that others will rely on ours. It is submitted that the reports that are being requested are of interest to all of the parties and actually bleed into a number of the responses to IRs and as indicated, a good portion of the application and the 3-year plan.
CHAIRPERSON: Anything further, Ms. Rudderham?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Yeah, sorry. I am just reading through my notes. I apologize. We would request that others be given the opportunity to make submissions on this as it has -- what we have learned today has impacted a number of the responses to IRs that have been provided by NB Power, if they so wish.
And I believe that that concludes JD Irving’s submissions for today.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Ms. Rudderham. I did mention before we took a recess that the Board would not hear other parties, but considering what has just been put forward by JD Irving, I think the Board will provide an opportunity to the interveners to address the issue that has been put forward by JD Irving.
So Mr. Amos, did you have anything -- did you have anything to add for the Board’s consideration? I think you are muted, Mr. Amos.
MR. AMOS: Can you hear me now?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, we can.
MR. AMOS: Yeah, Kathleen and I, we both mute me.
CHAIRPERSON: Yeah.
MR. AMOS: Yes. Thanks for letting me speak. JD Irving’s motion, in my humble opinion, has lots of merits. In her motion, I think the last statement was 53(b), she mentioned she was successful in getting NB Power to show a contract between PwC and NB Power.
And then looking at what Mr. Furey was saying about process, it appears that NB Power is relying on advice of some sort, whether it was thinking out loud in writing or talking on the phone, to come up with this rather large rate increase. They must be getting some kind of advice in order to enter into a contract that stakeholders are paying for. And just because PwC offers NB Power advice on how high to raise our rates, I don’t think we should take it as gospel without reviewing their advice.
I think as a taxpayer, a stakeholder in NB Power and a client and an intervener, JD Irving and I have every right to see what PwC is advising NB Power about how to increase our rates. I think JD Power’s -- excuse me. JD Irving’s motion should be allowed. I think Madam Rudderham did an excellent job making her point. Kudos to her. Thanks for letting me speak.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, sir. Mr. Hoyt, anything for the Board’s consideration?
MR. HOYT: Yes, just briefly. I just wonder if Ms. Mitchell could pull up the response to NBEUB IR-11(h). Yeah, and I just note that if you go to roman at (i), the second sentence, it says the engagement was not intended to provide detailed analysis on the opportunities but rather a high level estimate of potential savings, cost avoidance and productivity and then it goes on to say the estimates don’t provide details on the cost of investments. So the indication there was that PwC was to provide a high level estimate of potential savings.
If we could go now to just the document that Mr. Furey filed this morning, the additional response. And just go down to the bottom of that, please. Yeah, so the paragraph that starts with much of this information, if you go to the end of the second line where it says the PwC role in the process does not include identification or quantification of the cost of implementing the cost optimization opportunities identified through the work performed by PwC. And then in the next sentence there is no interim or draft report from PwC that will provide information regarding the potential net savings from the initiative.
What struck me is this morning that NB Power is no longer talking about, you know, the high level estimate of potential savings that PwC was to identify. It’s all now about the net costs and that clearly NB Power has a role to play in determining what the costs of anything that PwC might implement. So the question that I am left with is has PwC provided a high level estimate of potential savings which is what was indicated in the original response to NBEUB IR-(h) -- 11(h), I am sorry. And that would be my submission.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, sir. Mr. Stoll?
MR. STOLL: Thank you, sir. I think -- obviously as an intervener we would prefer seeing more relevant evidence earlier. I am not taking a position on when the precise recommendation but just indicate that there are certain differences between the way we framed our questions and why we basically felt the questions had been responded to appropriately. And the specific nature and requests of the other parties, so although they are related we have an interest in the general area and we are -- we expect to see further information. I think having the information earlier will certainly reduce the risks that we run into a problem later on during this hearing. As we know, the timelines are tight. NB Power wants a decision. So to the extent information doesn’t come forth earlier, it could cause problems later on. So those are our submissions.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Mr. Stoll. Mr. Williams?
MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Public Intervener supports JDI’s motion. Either PwC -- it looks --
CHAIRPERSON: Mr. Williams, can I just -- and I am sorry, there is a fire alarm that just --
MR. WILLIAMS: Sorry.
CHAIRPERSON: -- just bear with me. We are just checking if we need to go out.
MR. WILLIAMS: Okay.
CHAIRPERSON: Hope not. It’s not a drill. Well I guess that -- I am sorry to all parties. I guess it’s not a drill. We need to evacuate the building. So we will take a short recess and advise everybody once we are back in the offices. So I apologize for that. And Ms. Mitchell will -- we will reconvene as soon as we are back in the office. Thank you. Apologize for that.
(Recess)
CHAIRPERSON: We will proceed and when Mr. Lawson comes, we will just join him in. So apologize for that, Mr. Williams. It was not a fire drill, it was real.
MR. WILLIAMS: Okay.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you.
MR. WILLIAMS: All right. I am just -- this is very brief.
So the Public Intervener supports JDI’s motion. The work that is being done by PwC looks like it’s expert work but I guess it isn’t the work -- there is not going to be a PwC expert report used. But the work done is going to be funneled through to somebody at NB Power. Presumably somebody in one of the panels will speak to that and be cross-examined on it.
Nevertheless, the work is being done in relation to this cost optimization project. And so if PwC was going to be called as an expert, then clearly all parties are entitled to discovery of the expert’s file. If PwC is not being called as an expert, then the work of the expert is essentially that of -- the same -- it would be treated the same as work of an employee of NB Power and be subject to discovery, in my submission. NB Power hasn’t said that the information in question is highly confidential or top secret or anything. They just don’t want to produce it. And, you know, here we are eight weeks out literally to the day from the start of what -- what’s going to prove to be a pretty contentious hearing. And I think it’s important that all of the information in the interest of transparency and fairness be divulged at this point in time.
Clearly, the Board has authority over its own processes and has the authority to order production of all relevant documents. The -- and so I would support JDI’s request that the information not provided be provided ASAP so that the parties can consider it and give it to their respective expert witnesses.
Those are my comments. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Can you comment on the case, Mr. Williams, that was provided by Mr. Furey?
MR. WILLIAMS: I can. I just briefly looked at that case and as Ms. Rudderham indicated, that’s a -- I think it’s an Ontario case. I had -- just as she was speaking, I had just done a little research on CanLII myself. And there is -- I have a citation for a case. I haven’t circulated it but it may be an analogous situation and it -- and it’s a New Brunswick case. I haven’t circulated it but I did advise Ms. Mitchell of -- that I may refer to it. So why don’t I refer to it and it’s the case of -- because I think it -- I think it speaks to the New Brunswick position on this. It’s the Fredericton Police Association versus the New Brunswick Superintendent of Pensions. And it’s a decision of the Financial and Consumer Services Tribunal. And the CanLII site is at 2019 NBFCST 5 on CanLII. And Ms. Mitchell I believe has -- or I had emailed Ms. Mitchell and suggested I might refer to it. I don’t know if she has managed to locate it or if not, I can just -- so just the relevant pages.
So this case, this New Brunswick case, dealt with production and discovery of -- let’s call it the expert’s file. And in this case it did look like -- this particular New Brunswick case, it looked like this fellow by the name of -- his last name is George was going to testify as an expert and there was an application to produce the expert file.
And again, I will just go back and reiterate that the PwC is obviously engaged in this matter for its expertise, not for its -- you know, not for its knowledge of, you know, individual partner’s knowledge that gee, I have a power bill and here is how much it is. I mean, they are clearly being engaged here to provide outside expertise to NB Power. The only difference I think is that Mr. Furey says that PwC won’t be an expert. And again, I reiterate that quite clearly the -- PwC will tell NB Power here is our opinion or here is what we think. And then NB Power will simply adopt it as its opinion or what they think.
And so this particular case that I am referring to New Brunswick -- the New Brunswick case, at paragraph 15 -- and again this Brendan George is this likely expert. And it says, it’s probable that Brendan George’s file likely contains information necessary to the City’s ability to fairly present its case. We accept the City’s contention that the crux of the appellant’s case will be established through Mr. George. As such it would be inequitable to require the City to proceed to the hearing without the benefit of this file.
So again PwC is going to be giving information to NB Power. Presumably an in-house accounting person will then run with that.
And then at paragraph 18 there is reference to the Evidence Act but again that’s dealing with experts. 19, we do not find it appropriate for the appellants to produce draft reports prepared by Brendan George -- which surprised me. Mr. George’s final report dealing -- detailing his opinion when it’s not actually produced will not be based on his draft reports but rather on data, the instructing letter and his research, production of an expert’s draft report was refused in and then they cite some cases.
And then the -- and then Ms. Keating says, we conclude that the appellants should produce the following documents from Brendan George’s file. One, all correspondence between the appellants and Brendan George. So I think that’s one of the key things that we have in this case too. All documents provided to Brendan George by the appellants. Three, all documents including research reviewed by Brendan George in preparing his report, whether relied upon or not. And on a final note, should the City decide to retain an expert witness, they will be required to produce the contents of their expert’s file to the appellants as detailed in this decision.
So here quite clearly we have relevant information in the hands of NB Power from PwC. It must be relevant because we wouldn’t be here on this motion, it being defended so vigorously if it wasn’t so -- public interest. Or the Public Intervener’s position is the public interest with respect to transparency and procedural fairness to the parties would indicate that the -- that the Board should make an order with -- along the lines that JDI’s counsel has suggested.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Mr. Williams. Ms. Black, any questions for Mr. Williams?
MS. BLACK: No questions. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Ms. Wilson?
MS. WILSON: No questions. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. So I apologize for going out of order. Mr. Furey, what I am -- I am going to permit you to, maybe if you would like to add any comments based on those comments that were provided by the other interveners?
MR. FUREY: Thank you, Mr. Chair. In particular with respect to Mr. Williams’ reference to the case. I think the case actually supports what NB Power is saying that draft documents, particularly in this context, are not producible. Now Mr. Williams says he is surprised by that. I am not surprised by that at all. In the litigation privilege context, that is exactly what you would expect, in my submission.
But I do have one substantive issue that I think in response to all of what the various interveners have said is important for the Board to consider.
The question here is relevance. And I would refer the Board to NB Power’s response to NBEUB IR-49. And this relates to the issue of updating forecasts. And as the Board is aware, in matter --
CHAIRPERSON: Mr. Furey, I am going to ask Ms. Mitchell maybe to just bring that up --
MR. FUREY: Certainly. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRPERSON: -- if you don’t mind.
MR. FUREY: If we could scroll down, Ms. Mitchell, to -- yes, there. So those three paragraphs from the Board’s decision in Matter 458. So this goes directly, I would suggest, to the relevance of the information being requested. And it is all about relevance.
NB Power has made it clear through its responses to interrogatories that the $20 million placeholder for cost optimization is based upon NB Power’s management’s best estimates at the time that it was made. This decision of the Board says that updates are a concern because in fact what we are dealing with is a snapshot in time and that it’s appropriate for the Board to consider the reasonableness of forecasts at the time they are made, not after the fact. All this will do -- when it’s completed -- when it’s completed the cost optimization initiative may provide evidence of variance from that $20 million. That report may say 20 million is not achievable. It may say more than $20 million is achievable. But that is not relevant for the Board`s determination of whether that $20 million forecast at the time it was made is reasonable.
So I would encourage the Board to review the approach it has taken to updates in the past. Our submission is that if applied to this case, clearly this information is not relevant to the fiscal year in question, to the test year.
And I have no further submissions other than that, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Just one question, Mr. Furey. Mr. Hoyt made a reference to -- well he had a question regarding a PwC high level estimate. Does that report exist?
MR. FUREY: I think we are talking about one and the same thing. The --
CHAIRPERSON: Can you just clarify for --
MR. FUREY: Well there are certainly -- in the charters there would be high level estimates of potential cost savings associated with the charter. There is just no costs of implementation included in that analysis.
CHAIRPERSON: And just one last question. I mean, Ms. Rudderham walked us through a lot of IRs where it talked about a PwC final report. I just want to be clear and to be clear on the record that that report does not exist --
MR. FUREY: That’s --
CHAIRPERSON: -- and it’s going to be a report -- from my understanding, that will be drafted by Board management for NB Power’s board of directors?
MR. FUREY: Yes. With input from the engagement and the support of PwC, yes. But it is what was always contemplated. So I -- this is why I -- in the additional response why NB Power has set out that the reference to and I think one of the IRs that Mr. Hoyt referred to is in -- that the reference to a report of PwC is not the proper characterization. We are not saying interveners made an improper characterization, we are saying that it was an error on the part of NB Power to make it a characterization as though it was a PwC report. It was never intended to be a PwC report and that’s simply not the proper way to have described it.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Ms. Black, any questions for Mr. Furey?
MS. BLACK: No questions. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: And Ms. Wilson?
MS. WILSON: No questions. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Furey. And Ms. Rudderham, anything further for the Board’s consideration?
MS. RUDDERHAM: Sorry about that. It took a little while to unmute myself. No, nothing at this time, Mr. Chair and Board Members.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. So we are going to recess and the panel is going to deliberate on the issues that were presented by all of the parties. And hopefully -- I hope that we will be able to provide an oral decision by the end of the afternoon. So Ms. Mitchell will inform the parties if we are able to. And if we are, we will reconvene and I will read the oral decision to the parties. So we will recess and Ms. Mitchell will inform the parties if we are able. If not, hopefully the parties will be available tomorrow morning. And we will -- we will try to -- if we are not able to issue it today, we will do our best to issue it tomorrow. So thank you.

Counsel to Board Staff - Ms. Véronique Otis
............................................................
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, everyone. This is the continuation of the Motion hearing in Matter 541. And I am going to start with the appearances. Starting with NB Power Corporation?
MR. FUREY: Good morning, Mr. Chair, John Furey.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, sir. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business? No one is here. Mr. Amos? I don’t think Mr. Amos is here. Mr. Daly? You are muted, Mr. Daly. There must be something on your computer that you are able to deactivate -- there you go. That doesn’t work, no. Well let the record show that Mr. Daly is trying to communicate and he is present. So -- JD Irving, Limited?
MS. RUBIN: Good morning, Nancy Rubin and Brianne and Rudderham on behalf of JD Irving, Limited.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, to both of you. Liberty Utilities? No one is here from Liberty. Twin Rivers Paper Company Inc.? Not sure if you are muted, Mr. Hoyt, but we didn’t hear you. No, we don’t hear you.
MR. HOYT: How about now?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, we do now. Yeah.
MR. HOYT: Sorry about that, Len Hoyt for Twin Rivers. Good morning.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, sir. Utilities Municipal?
MR. STOLL: Good morning, Mr. Chair, Scott Stoll.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Stoll. Public Intervener?
MR. WILLIAMS: Good morning, Rick Williams, Acting Public Intervener.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Mr. Williams. And New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board?
MS. OTIS: Good morning, Mr. Chair, Véronique Otis appearing this morning on behalf of Board Staff.
CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, Ms. Otis. So the purpose of this morning is to read the oral decision regarding the motion that was brought forward by JD Irving, Limited. And at this point in time I am going to start reading the decision.
This is the oral decision dealing with a Notice of Motion filed by JD Irving, Limited (JDI) on December 15, 2022. The motion seeks an order for direction to NB Power to provide additional responses for unanswered interrogatories according to Rule 4.2.8 of the Board’s Rules of Procedure. It further objects to NB Power’s claim for confidentiality over retainer documents with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), pursuant to Rule 6.4.7.
The basis of JDI’s motion is as follows:
(a) NB Power has failed to provide full and adequate responses to a number of JDI’s interrogatories, as described in the Notice of Motion; and
(b) The asserted claim for confidentiality is unsupported on the evidence, and the records sought should be disclosed in the public interest.
On December 16, Ms. Nancy Rubin, counsel for JDI, informed by email that productive discussions occurred between her client and NB Power. She stated that all but one of the issues in the notice had been resolved. Ms. Brianne Rudderham, co-counsel for JDI, confirmed the resolution during the motion hearing.
The outstanding issue relates to JDI IR-3(b), which requested that NB Power provide a copy of any preliminary reporting or drafts as provided by PwC to NB Power. JDI believes that if such reports or drafts exist, then NB Power resists production.
In her oral submissions, Ms. Rudderham argued that NB Power had not provided such documentation or reporting from PwC. In response to JDI IR-3(b), NB Power has referred JDI to its response to PI IR-41(a), which, in turn, refers to NBEUB IR-11(j), in which NB Power provided a progress update of PwC’s review and/or reporting, including “preliminary themes.” As a result, JDI submitted that it could be reasonably inferred that NB Power has received some preliminary reporting from PwC.
In the Notice of Motion, JDI argued that NB Power had not provided any reason for failing to respond to the requested interrogatory relating to the information concerning the cost optimization opportunities, as would be required under Rule 4.2.7.
Ms. Rudderham argued that these records should be disclosed to provide a more full and satisfactory understanding of the matter before the Board. She also argued that any involvement between PwC and NB Power relating to a strategic plan should be made available to all parties.
The pre-filed evidence shows that NB Power has engaged PwC to lead a cost optimization review to identify cost efficiencies. The utility has also mandated PwC to guide the utility through a new strategic plan.
Mr. John Furey, counsel for NB Power, argued that the cost optimization review is not a third-party review. In an additional response to JDI IR-3(b), NB Power submitted that the cost optimization review is a process that will ultimately lead NB Power management to provide its Board of Directors with its findings concerning cost optimization initiatives for implementation. Mr. Furey stated that the role of PwC is part of a larger iterative process, which is currently incomplete.
It is NB Power’s view that no interim or draft report from PwC will provide information regarding the potential net savings from the initiative. Therefore, any preliminary reporting from PwC is not relevant to this matter.
However, the Board notes that there has been significant communication between PwC and NB Power. In the additional response to JDI IR-3(b), NB Power stated this included the following steps:
1. Requests by PwC to NB Power for information and data;
2. Provision of data by NB Power to PwC and follow-up requests by PwC;
3. Analysis of the data by PwC provided to NB Power;
4. Identification of cost optimization opportunities;
and
5. Development of priority initiative “charters.”
Concerning the development of priority initiative charters, Mr. Furey stated that NB Power has at least five but was unsure of the exact number.
Mr. Len Hoyt, counsel for Twin Rivers Paper Company, referred to NB Power’s response to NBEUB IR-11(h)(i), in which NB Power stated that PwC’s cost optimization exercise would provide a high-level estimate of potential savings. He questioned whether any such estimate was available.
As for Mr. Scott Stoll, counsel for Utilities Municipal, he submitted that early disclosure of relevant information is required to avoid delays in the hearing of this matter.
Mr. Richard Williams, Acting Public Intervener, supported JDI’s motion and argued that the documentation relating to the cost optimization initiative is relevant and should be disclosed to the parties. This was supported by Mr. Amos.
The Board will first deal with the issue regarding PwC’s engagement to guide NB Power through a new strategic plan. The Board agrees with Mr. Furey that the issue addressed in JDI IR-3(b) relates to cost optimization opportunities. Therefore, the Board denies that portion of the requested relief.
Now dealing with the issue of the documentation relating to the cost optimization opportunities, the Board finds that there is a probable likelihood that information contained in the priority initiative charters that are under development may assist parties in testing the factual foundations of the proposed revenue requirement. The Board concludes that such information is relevant to this matter.
The Board finds that it is not appropriate, at this time, to require NB Power to file any documentation relating to the analysis of the data by PwC. The Board understands that such information will form the basis of the priority initiative charters.
Having considered the Board’s enabling legislation and the principles of procedural fairness and heard the submissions from the parties that were present at the motion hearing, the Board will exercise its discretion and grant in part JDI’s request. Consequently, NB Power is directed to file, on the public record, all priority initiative charters currently in development.
So this concludes the reading of the oral decision.
So I am going to ask, Mr. Furey, is there anything further for the Board’s considerations of this matter this morning?
MR. FUREY: The only issue, Mr. Chair, is the timing of the -- of compliance with the Board’s order. The schedule approved by the Board would have a filing date of tomorrow at noon and that is certainly fine for all of the items that we were able to resolve with counsel for JDI, but I would request that the deadline for complying with the order given by the Board this morning be extended to Friday, the 23rd at noon. And that is simply because I -- as I indicated to you yesterday, I am not sure how many charters there are and it is probably going to take us a little bit of time to produce that.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Well once I ask -- I will be asking Ms. Rubin if she is in agreement -- well maybe ask her right now. Ms. Rubin, are you in agreement that these documents be filed by December -- next week, by Friday of next week?
MS. RUBIN: Obviously when the schedule was set, it was anticipated we would have the decision yesterday to provide responses by tomorrow, which is a two day. All of us are on an abbreviated schedule so I appreciate Mr. Furey just perhaps doesn’t simply know the extent of the information available and required to comply. I would suggest perhaps that rather than the 23rd, if it was available to be filed on the 22nd, that would maintain that two day timetable. I believe yesterday the suggestion was he believed there was five and they were in existing format so it is not a matter of compiling data in a ready form that doesn’t yet exist. It is simply collecting them and providing them. So I would ask Mr. Furey if that could be achievable, that would certainly be preferable.
CHAIRPERSON: Mr. Furey?
MR. FUREY: That is fine, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: So we will make it for Thursday, December 22nd. Is noon okay, Mr. Furey?
MR. FUREY: I would prefer 4:00, Mr. Chair, if that doesn’t raise any objection.
CHAIRPERSON: Any objections with 4:00, Ms. Rubin?
MS. RUBIN: No objection.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay, thank you. Anything further, Mr. Furey?
MR. FUREY: No, thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. I don’t see Mr. Amos anywhere, so I am -- Mr. Daly, is there anything further that you wish that the Board considers this morning before we adjourn?
MR. DALY: Can you hear me now?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, we can, yes.
MR. DALY: Oh perfect. No, I am good with the Board’s decision.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay, thank you. Ms. Rubin, anything further, or Ms. Rudderham?
MS. RUBIN: Just one matter. In the supplemental response that was provided, Mr. Furey had indicated he anticipated being able to provide the final report or the recommendation to the Board by the end of -- I think it was the end of 2022 or possibly early 2023. I would ask that if Mr. Furey has more certainty on that date, perhaps that could be included in the response to undertakings so we have a date certain for that.
CHAIRPERSON: Any issues with that?
MR. FUREY: I am not able to provide a certain date, Mr. Chair, because the process that is going to start in earnest in the new year is the costing of the charter initiatives, what it would cost to implement those potential cost savings. And obviously I am not in control of that and I don’t think a single person is in control of it so I can’t predict the specific date on which that would be available. What I can say to the Board, and I think it is reflected in the additional response, is that NB Power’s intention is to file that before the hearing so that the parties do have the benefit, not just of the charters that will be produced now, but all of that information.
CHAIRPERSON: Satisfied with that answer, Ms. Rubin?
MS. RUBIN: If that is the best information that Mr. Furey has, I am satisfied with that. And obviously we would all appreciate having the disclosure at the earliest opportunity as soon it is available.
CHAIRPERSON: I think your message is noted.
MR. FUREY: Understood.
CHAIRPERSON: Yeah, thank you. Anything further, Ms. Rubin?
MS. RUBIN: No, thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Mr. Hoyt, anything further?
MR. HOYT: No, nothing for me, thanks.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Stoll?
MR. STOLL: Nothing further, sir.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Williams?
MR. WILLIAMS: Nothing for me either, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. And Ms. Otis?
MS. OTIS: no, Mr. Chair, thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay, thank you. So I think this adjourns the matter and I wish you all a happy holidays. Thank you very much.

COMMISSION DE L’ENERGIE ET DES SERVICES PUBLICS N.-B.
Matter 529
IN THE MATTER of an application by the New Brunswick Power Corporation with respect to proposed changes to its rate structure, rate classes and rate design
Held via Videoconferencing, on November 9, 2022.
Members of the Board:
Mr. Francois Beaulieu - Chairperson
Mr. John Herron - Member
Mr. Christopher Stewart - Member
Counsel to Board Staff - Ms. Abigail Herrington
............................................................
CHAIRPERSON: This is a resumption further to the pre-hearing conference that the Board held on August 11th 2022 in Matter 529, which is an application that the Board has received from the New Brunswick Power Corporation with respect to proposed changes to its Rate Structure, Rate Classes and Rate Design. As parties will recall at that point in time the Board had some concerns with the limited amount of people that had filed intervener requests and at that point, we requested NB Power submit a public information engagement plan, which they did.
And, Mr. Furey, I am probably going to be putting you on the spot just in a few minutes regarding the public information engagement plan and maybe you could provide for the record a short summary of what transpired as a result of our pre-hearing on August the 11th?
So before doing that, Mr. Furey, I am just going to go down the list and take the appearances starting with New Brunswick Power Corporation?
MR. FUREY: Thank you, Mr. Chair. John Furey for New Brunswick Power Corporation.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. There are a few parties that have requested intervener status. And so I am going to first deal with those ones who were granted intervener status on August 11th and afterwards I will come back to the three that we have received a request.
So Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters? I am not sure is Mr. Marcolin is there?
MR. MARCOLIN: Yes, I am. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, sir. J.D. Irving, Limited?
MS. RUBIN: Hello, Mr. Chair. Nancy Rubin and with me is my partner, Conor O’Neil.
CHAIRPERSON: Good afternoon, Ms. Rubin. Union of the Municipalities of New Brunswick?
MR. MURPHY: Hello, Dan Murphy here on behalf of the Union.
CHAIRPERSON: Good afternoon, Mr. Murphy. Utilities Municipal?
MR. STOLL: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. Scott Stoll.
CHAIRPERSON: Good afternoon, sir. The Public Intervener?
MR. WILLIAMS: Rick Williams, Acting Public Intervener.
CHAIRPERSON: And the New Brunswick Energy & Utilities Board?
MS. HERRINGTON: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. Abigail Herrington.
CHAIRPERSON: So, good afternoon again, Ms. Herrington. So the Board has received three other intervener requests. And at this point in time, I will be dealing with those requests. We received one from the Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick. And the Board hasn’t received any objections regarding this intervener request. However, that being said, I will ask the parties at this point in time if there are any objections that the Board grants intervener status to this Alliance? So hearing no objections, the Board will grant intervener status to the Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick. And Ms. Belliveau, I think you represent the Alliance? Your audio is really not good. So maybe you could just repeat that and if you are on Wi-Fi we are having some difficulty with some individuals who are on Wi-Fi. So, yes -- no, it’s not -- well for the purpose of the record, Ms. Belliveau, I am just going to state for the purpose of the record that you are representing the Alliance. And I see that you are nodding your head, so that will confirm to us that you are representing. We may have some issues. You may want maybe to reboot your computer and come back again, because I don’t think the audio will be working, so you may want to do that. Thank you.
The Board has received intervener requests from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. And I see that Mr. Gionet is there. So any parties have any objections that the Board grants intervener status to the Federation of Independent Business? So hearing no objections, the Board will grant intervener status to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and Mr. Gionet, thank you. You are representing the Federation?
MR. GIONET: That’s correct.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, sir. And Mr. -- we have received an intervener request from Mr. Amos, David Amos. So any objections regarding the Board granting intervener status to Mr. Amos?
MR. FUREY: Mr. Chair, John Furey. I guess we have to put on the record because we are on two separate proceedings. We did address this this morning in the GRA pre-hearing conference. But again I, for the record, I want to state here that NB Power does not object to Mr. Amos being granted intervener status. But in light of the two previous occasions on which the Board did not grant Mr. Amos status in Matters 375 and Matter 430 and the reasons for that, in the event Mr. Amos’ conduct of his intervention reverts to a prior form, NB Power will bring an application to strike him as an intervener.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Mr. Furey. I think it was quite clear this morning the position of your client, so -- and I think Mr. Amos is well aware. So the Board will be granting intervener status to Mr. Amos, in order to intervene in this matter.
So just for the purpose of the record, even though that we are three members doing the pre-hearing conference, as I stated I think in August, is that the Panel that will be hearing the rate design will be consisting of the full Panel which will -- Ms. Black and Ms. Wilson will also be added once we start the process of hearing it. But as of today, there is only Mr. -- there is only the three of us between myself, Mr. Herron and Mr. Stewart that is hearing the pre-hearing.
It is my understanding that the chief clerk has provided a draft copy of a draft schedule -- or filing schedule, should I say. And as I stated this morning in Matter 541, the purpose of the pre-hearing is for the parties to have a discussion regarding the proposed schedule that has been put forward by the parties. And to essentially check if there are any issues regarding those dates, if there are any conflicts. And before we go there -- or before we -- I ask Ms. Mitchell to put myself and Mr. Stewart and Mr. Herron in the waiting room, I am just wondering, Mr. Furey, if you are able to maybe provide just a short summary of what your client has done in order to provide information and the engagement plan that was put together over the six weeks or the last couple of months, I guess, since we first started the pre-hearing in August?
MR. FUREY: Certainly, Mr. Chair. So the process culminated with the filing of the summary report dated October 3rd 2022. But I will provide, for the benefit of all parties, a summary of the engagement activities leading up to that.
NB Power commenced implementation of the public information and stakeholder engagement plan during the week of September 12th 2022. that included development of a webpage specific to the rate design application with links to the application itself and to the Board’s website.
There were advertisements placed in the Telegraph Journal and L’Acadie Nouvelle on September 14th as directed by the Board. There were more than 10,000 email notifications sent by NB Power provided to First Nations and customers in the GS1, GS2 small industrial net metering, farms, places of worship and charities categories. And there is a detail in an appendix to the summary report.
There is a stakeholder list consisting of the general and solar installers as well who were provided with some notice.
There -- during the implementation of the plan, there was a virtual information session conducted on September 21st. 65 registrations had been received. 31 participated in the English language, and one participated in the French language event. That session included presentation about the rate design application and information on how individuals or entities could participate in the process.
There was a video recording of the presentation that is available for public viewing again on the NB Power website at www.nbpower/ratedesign.com.
There were questions asked during the information session and NB Power responded to those and informed participants that it would post the written question and answer document on the rate design website, which has been done.
And finally, on September 23rd of this year, NB Power received an info graphic on how to get involved in Board proceedings and that has also been placed on the website at the link that I just specified a few moments ago.
And as I said at the outset, that culminated in the filing of the summary report with the Board dated October 3rd 2022.
Is that what you were roughly looking for, Mr. Chair?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, Mr. Furey, and thank you very much for that summary, and I think once we commence the proceeding, I think the summary report will be marked as an exhibit at that point in time. So if some individuals would like to have a look at it, it is filed with the Board under this matter.
So I think we are at that point in time to start the discussions regarding the filing schedule. And so I am going to ask Ms. Mitchell to put myself, Mr. Herron, and Mr. Stewart in the waiting room and Ms. Herrington, once -- if there is -- if the parties are able to come to a consensus on the schedule, I would ask you to inform the Board, and we will resume afterwards. Thank you.
(Off record)
CHAIRPERSON: Everybody is here and the Board has been provided with a draft schedule which we had reviewed and the Board has no difficulty with the proposed schedule. So I am going to ask Ms. Herrington to read the schedule on the record, please.
MS. HERRINGTON: Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the parties have agreed that round 1 interrogatories will be filed by December 9th 2022 at 12:00 p.m. Round 1 interrogatory responses will be filed by January 13, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Notice of motion, if required, will be filed by January 20th 2023 at 12:00 p.m. There will be an ADR on motion and motions day, if necessary, on January 26, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. Any additional responses following the motions day will be filed by January 31st 2023 at 12:00 p.m.
There will be -- I am sorry, Mr. Chair, just give me one moment. I am looking at the wrong schedule. It changes after this point. Just one moment.
Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair. So there will be a technical conference scheduled for March 14th 2023 at 9:30 a.m. Round 2 interrogatories will be filed by March 23, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Round 2 interrogatory responses will be filed by April 6th 2023 at 12:00 p.m. There will be -- excuse me. Notice of motion, if necessary, will be filed by April 12th 2023 at 12:00 p.m. There will be ADR on motion and a motions day, if necessary, at 9:30 a.m. on April 14th 2023. Any additional responses resulting from the motions day will be filed by April 18th 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Intervener evidence will be filed on April 25th 2023 by 12:00 p.m. Interrogatories on the intervener evidence will be filed by May 5th 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Interrogatory responses will be filed by May 17, 2023 by 4:00 p.m. Notice of motion, if required, with respect to those responses will be filed by May 19th 2023 at 4:00 p.m. There will be an ADR on motion and a motions day, if necessary, on May 24th 2023 at 9:30 a.m. Any additional responses following that motions day will be filed by May 26, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. All parties will file their rebuttal evidence by June 2nd 2023 at 12:00 p.m. and the hearing will commence on June 7, 2023 for a period of 10 days.
CHAIRPERSON: I am just wondering, Ms. Herrington, I don’t know if I heard May the 23rd for the additional responses. You may have said May 26th.
MS. HERRINGTON: I am not -- I don’t recall exactly what I said, Mr. Chair, but it should be May 26th, that is what I should have said. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: I am pretty sure you said it, but maybe I misheard you saying the 23rd. So I do understand that there is again, similar to Matter 541, the Board will be conducting three public forums. There is one scheduled, I think, for Woodstock on May the 29th. I think there was some discussion between the parties regarding the May 30th, one scheduled for Grand Falls. We -- I think Mr. Young informed me that Mr. Murphy was questioning why we were having one in Grand Falls. It is a good question, and I think we thought about it, and I think the Board will not be holding a public forum in Grand Falls since we will be holding one in Matter 541. We were thinking of having one on the East Coast, but we haven’t determined yet where we are going to have the May 30th one. So we will inform the parties at that point in time once we decide where the public forum will be. And there is a virtual hearing public forum that will be held on June the 1st.
So Mr. Furey, any issues with the schedule that was read by Ms. Herrington?
MR. FUREY: Just one minor divergence between what Ms. Herrington read and my notes is the interrogatories on intervener evidence on May 5th, I think Ms. Herrington indicated at noon, and I believe we agreed to end of day.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Duly noted. Mr. Furey, and maybe the other parties may want to address that when I ask you the question, I am just wondering if one day of technical conferences is enough?
MR. FUREY: I think it is, Mr. Chair. So in this context, Ms. Herrington has indicated, and I think other interveners may submit other things as well, but Ms. Herrington has indicated that the experts retained by Board Staff are looking for some information even in advance of the filing of the first round of interrogatories. And we’ve indicated during the discussion earlier today that we would be happy to provide answers of a clarification nature to assist any party in formulating their first round interrogatories.
So that in addition with the single technical conference and the fact that there are two rounds of IRs I think will cover the field. But we are certainly willing to provide informal responses to any intervener prior to interrogatories if they have some clarification that would assist them in formulating their interrogatories, we will be doing that.
CHAIRPERSON: I did notice, Mr. Furey, that there is about nine days between the technical conference and the second round of IRS. So if need be, I mean, there are some days that if the technical conference needs to be extended an additional day, well I think there is probably some time there to accommodate that if an additional day is warranted.
Ms. Belliveau -- any other -- any other issues, Mr. Furey?
MR. FUREY: No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Ms. Belliveau? I am not sure -- I hope that you are --
MS. BELLIVEAU: Can you hear me?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes. Oh, gees, we can hear you really well now.
MS. BELLIVEAU: Good. Yeah, we are pretty flexible on schedules so we are all good.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. And I do notice that you have a French name, Ms. Belliveau. I am just wondering if you prefer proceeding in the French language?
MS. BELLIVEAU: No, English is fine.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. And I think Mr. Gionet had to leave us. I don’t think -- I don’t see him here. Mr. Marcolin, any issues with the schedule that was read?
MR. MARCOLIN: No. No issues whatsoever. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Amos, any issues with the schedule that was read on the record? Again, you may need to unmute yourself, Mr. Amos.
MR. AMOS: The clerk mutes me. No, there is no issues.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, sir. Ms. Rubin?
MS. RUBIN: Nothing additional. I do appreciate Mr. Furey’s willingness to receive informal inquiries prior to the IRs, so that’s appreciated.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Murphy, any issues with the schedule?
MR. MURPHY: No objections, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Stoll?
MR. STOLL: No concerns with the schedule.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. And Ms. Williams -- or, Ms. Williams. Mr. Williams, I am sorry.
MR. WILLIAMS: Yeah. No problem with the schedule at all, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. I am probably going to repeat myself regarding comments that I have made this morning but it’s another matter, so -- and there are people that were not participating this morning.
So the hearing will be conducted orally and as I mentioned this morning, the Board has started to have in-person hearings. We started about a month ago. So this hearing will be an in-person. We intend to have the hearing in Fredericton. And again, we haven’t secured a venue yet, but as I mentioned this morning, it will probably be between the Convention Centre or the Delta. So ten days has been set aside, I don’t think there are any issues with that. If there is, again like I said this morning, you probably should leave a couple of days the following week just to be sure that if we need additional days that everybody is available the following week.
Any other issues that the Board should be dealing with this afternoon, Mr. Furey?
MR. FUREY: No, Mr. Chair. The only -- just one clarification comment. So the hearing date that we have set commencing on June 7th is a Wednesday. So we will be doing three days of hearings one week, five days and then two days in that last week. I think certainly there may be flexibility for people to extend another day or so in that week, but the following week at least one participant has a conflicting schedule with another matter.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Well, thanks for reminding me. I was looking at the calendar and I just anticipated that June 7th was a Monday. So if we do need additional days and we can’t conclude the hearing within ten days, we will have to set aside some time at that point in time.
Ms. Belliveau, anything further for the Board’s consideration?
MS. BELLIVEAU: Not from me. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Marcolin?
MR. MARCOLIN: No, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Amos, do you have anything further? Mr. Amos, I am wondering if you are there and, if so, anything further?
MR. AMOS: Can you hear me?
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, we can. Yeah.
MR. AMOS: No, sir, no issues.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you, sir. Ms. Rubin?
MS. RUBIN: No, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Murphy?
MR MURPHY: No. All good here. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Stoll, anything further?
MR. STOLL: Nothing further, sir.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Mr. Williams?
MR. WILLIAMS: Nothing further, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRPERSON: Thank you, Mr. Williams. And Ms. Herrington?
MS. HERRINGTON: Nothing, Mr. Chair. Other than I just wanted to note for the record that Mr. Gionet did check in with me to advise that he had to leave by 3:00 p.m.
CHAIRPERSON: Okay. Thank you. So if there is nothing further, I would like to again thank the parties for arriving at a consensus with respect to the schedule, the filing schedule. And that being said, I will adjourn the proceeding. Thank you. Have a good day.
MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you.

Hey Mr Plant
Please notice that I added two more pdf files to this email that all our
surving past and present Prime Ministers and Governor Generals are
well aware of but you may not have seen them.
Remember our conversation and the four emails I sent you one month before
the writ was dropped? It was at about the same time a couple of my enemies
in BC Splitting the Sky and Dougy Baby Christie dropped dead. They were
followed up not long afterwards by none other than Rotten Ralphy Klein?
Does it make me an evil person to be happy that I out lived some of my foes?
You should not deny that Rotten Ralphy's Attorney General got the same
letter and the same a pile of documents and a CD that all the Canadian
Attorney General's received except the Quebecers who turned the Registered
US Mail back 10 times but it was NEVER returned to the USA. Methinks the
RCMP or their pals in CSIS stole my mail just like they have done before and
since. Its rough being a whistleblower. N'esy Pas Mr. Chretien and Mr.
Cutler?
http://qslspolitics.blogspot.
http://www.integritybc.ca/?
http://blogs.vancouversun.com/
Now to be fair here is one all the lawyers working for the Yankees Al Gore,
Prez Obama and George Soros should review before Birgitta Jonsdotter and her
Wikileaks buddies finally read it..
http://www.scribd.com/doc/
Yea I know I am pipe dreaming. I doubt things will change in my lifetime but
what is life without fine dreams? History has proven the Sheeple always get the
governments they deserve when apathy rules the day. However once they start
losing their shirts and have no cake to eat there is always hell to pay and
heads do roll on occasion. Anyone paying attention can see that the stock
market is at an artificial high created by the greedy Banksters NOT the
economy. Obviously it has nowhere to go but down. Look out when it does.
Even old folks who support Harper and Cummins get pissed when they lose
another big chunk of their precious pensions. But to hell with us old folks
our days taking advantage of this wonderful old old are winding down anyway.
What is far worse to me is that methinks the "Powers that Be" may let loose
the Dogs of War once again at about the same time the economy crashes.
I am not the only soul predicting this but I have been rather outspoken about
this since 2002 when the greedy Yankees attacked my little Clan.
The public record of my affairs speaks for itself. If my reasoning is
correct all
of our children's future will become truly dire indeed. Shame on all you greedy
smiling bastards if what I believe comes true. Trust that I will hate
being correct
but to deny the obvious would make me as foolish as you people.
Pipedream or not the rest of this email is a nightmare for any unethical
lawyer or cop to read or ignore.
Unlike a lawyer or a poltiician I have always trusted my conscience, my
logic and my strange gut feelings.just like the honest cops in the movies do.
Thus far the senses I was born with have not failed me. So I must confess the
I have not lost my faith in my fellow common man yet even though I hold much
contempt towarss many low men in high places. My doubts are justifiable but
I still have hope especially after watching the black guy named Charles talk
about taking a break from munching on his MacDonald's and playing his part
help to save three long lost girls in the USA It is guys like him
that assure me
that we common folk are not all evil people like the wealthy ones amongst us
usually are. Charles should run for Congress I suspect he would win by a
landslide if a self serving Independent can beat BC's Attorney General in the
last election. If the sneaky lawyer David Eby beats Christy Clark in her own
riding it will only serve to further prove my point. Need I say I love how the
political parties in BC are creating their own Independent opponents? Too too
funny. Seems that they are bringing about "change" byway of their
malicious incompetence.
History as I said earlier has proven the worm always turns on the smiling
bastards. With any luck at all it may happen soon in BC. I know I have done
my part to try to bring about change in BC since 2004. I still have so many
irons in the fire in so many places to singe some fancy political arses with
that it is quite simply unbelievable. For instance with regards to this
email pipelines in your neck of the woods I know everyone of you checked out
the letters hereto attached but did nothing . Curipusity is a hell of a
thing but you are all afraid of Harper Correct? I doubt many of you greedy
people know about Lenny Hoyt, Emera and Enbridge or Mr. Jones, his Director
Derek Burney within TransCanada versus Mean Old Me. Trust
that it would take me only minutes to explain it to anyone with two clues
between their ears. In fact I have done so to quite few and still they say
and do nothing. Hell the dumb Green Meanies in Canada have understood me
since 2004 and still don't care about the shit that went down between Danny
Boy Williams and I even after he sues some of them. Go figure?
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/
http://www.transcanada.com/
http://www.state.gov/
Methinks folks should stop listening to greedy lawyers EH? What say you Mr.
Plant? If you recall our conversation on March 15th you demanded I wrap
things up in a couple of minutes and I promptly did so within 30 seconds or
so then I called your friend Elisabeth Graff and her bosses as well. After
all your Law Firm has had Hard Copy of my material for nearly a year before
you quit politicking as an Attorney General Then Wall Eyed Wally Opal gladly
took your job and in turn got his arse kicked out of office by an incredibly
stupid Independent whom I talked to as well CORRECT Ms Huntington a former
RCMP Security person and Acting-Chief of Staff to the Solicitor General of
Canada?
What I did not bother telling you Mr. Plant was the the reason I called on lots
of people the Ides of March. Scroll down and you will see I caught Harper's
minions checking my work that day. Plus I know for a fact the CSE and the
RCMP listen to all my calls so why not give them an earful then prove to
many others I am paying attention too?
Believe it or not not everybody is a afraid of Mr. Harper and many are
tired of his antics. I heard through the grapevine that I have
gotten some fans amongst the Feds and that maybe someone may use my
documents to blow the whistle. Heres hoping that is true. The sooner I get
my old Harley back and return to being "Just Dave" I am sure many politicians
and lawyers will breath a sigh of relief. Methinks the CROWN and I should
write an MOU ASAP and then assist me in asking the the Yankees to settle
with as well. What say Mr. Plant? Do you know an old liberal lawyer in YOUR
law firm capable of writing a letter to the Prime Minister and making a deal
with fellow devil on behalf of a Canadian citizen that they purportedly
serve? I do they got this email too and my letter hereto attached. Four of the
documents are from the Canadian government one is from a very big cheese
and only one is mine Correct?
If no no lawyer takes my side rest assured the Green Meanies South of the
49th heavily financed by George Soros/Swartz are about to be enlightened
much to the chagrin of Harper and Prez Obama and of course my wife's evil
Catholic cousins and their old Yankee buddy John Kerry the current Secretary
of the Sad State of Affairs in the US of A.
http://www.theinquiry.ca/
http://www.checktheevidence.
Such is the way of the world and the life and times of a fierce but ethical
political animal. As long as I maintain my Integrity I and tell the
truth all day long
to anyone I choose to then sit back and watch the "Powers That Be" squirm.
Sooner or later somebody will grow some balls and simply say my name in a
Parliament or a Congress or in the corporate media. The love of money
dictates it. Of that I have no doubt.

I believe that only propaganda exists these days. The other two terms
are merely myths that bullshitters use to jusify greedy wordsmiths who
try to wax poetic for whomever will pay them the most. If all else
fails the corporations hire the cheapest help they can get for local
events and just cut and paste and print and pay some other dude for
the fancy words to elp sell their newsrag. Original thought and common
sense evaporated with veritical intigration or whatever the evil
corporate bastards wish to call these days.

Perhaps some clever Indian in BC will ask me why I ran against Andy
Scott when he was the Minister of Indian Affairs EH John Duncan? I see
folks in your neck of the woods checking my work alot lately. No doubt
some of it is because of the upcoming election and the doings between
me and the Wally Opal and the RCMP back in 2005. However there is the
doings between the NEB and I in 2006 but that bullshit only involves
mere matters of money and the environment. YOU cannot deny that the
Minister of Indian Affairs has had Hard Copy of my concerns since 2004
and THAT involves the Captial Crime known and MURDER. YOUR head office
is in Amherst Nova Scotia which well within MY stomping gounds. Thus
that is where I will serve you the summons in order to bring the RCMP
and your lawyers to Federal Court CORRECT Minister Duncan? Perhaps you
should call the RCMP in Amherst Nova Scotia and ask them about the
documents and CD I served on them with a witness who has my Durable
Power of Attorney in August of 2012 in order to bring everything up to
date.
FYI its mostly the same materail that Wally Opal and the lawyer
Shirley Heafey as the Commissioer of Public Complaints Against the
RCMP received byway of registered US Mail (signature required) in 2005

Received: Sunday, June 5, 2011, 8:45 PM
Dear David,
Apologies for the delay in my response. This week was jammed with
board meetings for our riding and a massive volunteer appreciation BBQ
that we held yesterday. I'm just catching up on messages now.
Apropos the information you sent to me, I found it very interesting.
In fact, here in Calgary East, I'm planning a series of
workshops/public lectures that look at "Corruption in Canada". My
policy team and I are meeting this week to discuss the items you sent
to me and your case in particular to see what we can do in terms of,
at least, bringing some public awareness to this case and other cases
of corruption and questionable practices in Canadian governance and
government relations with businesses.
Do make sure to send us a follow up on what you decide to do, apropos
your proposed law suit. I will share the information with my team.
As my own follow up question, though, why have you sent me this
material as opposed to approaching your local MP and/or Liberal
candidate? Surely others would be interested too.
I know Ted. He's a great person and he'll be a wonderful MP. Do let me
know what transpires on that front.
Best of luck in your efforts. We'll chat soon,
Josipa

Say hey to Ted Hsu
I explained myself to your sister Ana ( who was quite nice) She
obviously told you I had called after you responded to my first emaiI.
She told me you were heading out to debate that night so I sent you
the email with the attachemnt about BHP and Potash Corp so you could
embarass some Conservatives as to why Harper stopped the hostile
takeover last year but clearly you did not read it in time for the
election but there is still a bit of time to stir the pot before the
Speech from the Throne in June
Anyway to answer your question I am the whistleblower that inspired
this hearing in Washington DC before I came home and ran for public
office 4 times in Canada between 2004 and 2006 then got stuck here
without my wife and kids

Hi David -
I just heard your message (sort of) on the telephone.
Unfortunately the line is garbled and all I could hear was your name and
a mention of a Senate website site. The rest is mostly garbled for some
reason and I can't make out your phone number or the website you were
trying to direct me towards. Were you on a cell phone, by chance? It
sounds like digital interference on the phone.
That said, I have indeed scanned through the emails you sent to me,
but I have a number of questions, as the order of the emails is all
over the place and it's
hard for me to track what happened when and who you were responding to
at certain times.
I thought that it might be easier for you to come to
one of our meetings (i.e. our board meeting on June 1st). We always
leave a slot of time for people from the community, like yourself, to
talk about issues thought to be important and which we, as Liberals, can
talk about.
Indeed, as I'm developing a lecture series for Calgary
East right now, it might be worthwhile having you succinctly explain the
situation and your role in whistleblowing, so that I can grasp the
issues at hand.
In the meantime, could you email me your number and a
link to the website you mentioned. I can start by looking at the site.
Cheers, Josipa

When you responded once again to the earlier email I figured it was
not you who blocked the email I was calling about. Ask yourself who
blocked this email to you and why. BTW after I called you and left a
message about this I did as I promised and called Bob Rae's office as
well. He did ot call me back but i saw his help checking my work on
the web while we talked.

Name of Filing Party or Person: Stephen J. May
Application to which Document being filed relates: Amended Application
of the Plaintiff/Defendant by Counterclaim to maintain an Order
restricting publication, to strike portions of the Statement of
Defence, strike the Counterclaim in it's entirety, and to refer this
proceeding to case management.
Statement of purpose in filing: To maintain an Order restricting
publication, to strike portions of the Statement of Defence, strike
the Counterclaim in its entirety and refer this proceeding to case
management.
A F F I D A V I T
I, Stephen J. May, of the City of St. John's, in the Province of
Newfoundland and Labrador, Barrister and Solicitor, make oath and say
as follows:
THAT I am a Partner in the St. John's office of PATTERSON PALMER
solicitors for William Matthews, the Member of Parliament for
Random-Burin-St. George's in the Parliament of Canada.
THAT Mr. Matthews originally retained Mr. Edward Roberts, Q.C. on or
about 30 April 2002 after Mr. Byron Prior, the Defendant/Plaintiff by
Counterclaim, had made allegations against Mr. Matthews in a
publication called "My Inheritance - The truth - Not Fiction: A Town
with a Secret". In that publication, the allegation was made that Mr.
Matthews had had sex with a girl who had been prostituted by her
mother. That girl was alleged to have been Mr. Prior's sister.
THAT upon being retained, Mr. Edward Roberts wrote a letter to Mr.
Prior. That letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit "1" to my
Affidavit.
THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts' letter to Mr. Prior, Mr. Roberts
received a 1 May 2002 e-mail from Mr. Prior. That e-mail is attached
as Exhibit "2".
THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts receipt of the e-mail, Mr. Prior swore
an Affidavit acknowledging that what had been said in that publication
was false. That Affidavit is attached as Exhibit "3" to my Affidavit.
Following Mr. Roberts' receipt of that Affidavit, Mr. Matthews advised
that he was satisfied not to pursue the matter any further and our
firm closed our file.
THAT on or about 25 October 2004, I was retained by Mr. Matthews
following his gaining knowledge that a web site, made a series of
allegations against him relating to my having sex with a girl of
approximately 12 years old through to an approximate age of 15 years
old. It also accused him of being a father of one of her children and
accused him of having raped that girl. Upon checking the web site I
saw that Byron Prior, the Defendant, had been identified as the author
of the material on the site.
THAT Mr. Matthews instructed me to write Mr. Prior, to remind him of
the fact that the allegations had been admitted to being false through
a 16 May 2002 Affidavit to advise him of Mr. Matthews' intentions to
commence legal proceedings if the comments were not removed from the
web site. A copy of my letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit "4"
to this Affidavit.
THAT I attach as Exhibit "5" a transcript from a 5 November 2004
voicemail left by David Amos, identified in the voicemail as a friend
of Mr. Prior.
THAT I attach as Exhibit "6" a portion of a 6 November 2004 e-mail
from Mr. Amos.
THAT until I received his voicemail and e-mail, I had never heard of Mr.
Amos.
THAT Mr. Amos has continued to send me e-mail since his 5 November
e-mail. Including his 6 November 2004 e-mail, I have received a total
of 15 e-mails as of 23 January 2005. All do not address Mr. Matthews'
claim or my involvement as Mr. Matthews' solicitor. I attach as
Exhibit "7" a portion of a 12 January 2005 e-mail that Mr. Amos sent
to me but originally came to my attention through Ms. Lois Skanes
whose firm had received a copy. This e-mail followed the service of
the Statement of Claim on 11 January 2005 on Mr. Prior. I also attach
as Exhibit "8" a copy of a 19 January 2005 e-mail from Mr. Amos.
THAT I attach as Exhibit "9" a copy of a 22 November 2004 letter
addressed to me from Edward Roberts, the Lieutenant Governor of
Newfoundland and Labrador covering a 2 September 2004 letter from Mr.
Amos addressed to John Crosbie, Edward Roberts, in his capacity as
Lieutenant Governor, Danny Williams, in his capacity as Premier of
Newfoundland and Labrador, and Brian F. Furey, President of the Law
Society of Newfoundland and Labrador. I requested a copy of this
letter from Government House after asking Mr. Roberts if he had
received any correspondence from Mr. Amos during his previous
representation of Mr. Matthews. He advised me that he received a
letter since becoming Lieutenant Governor, portions of which involved
his representation of Mr. Matthews. Mr. Roberts' letter also covered
his reply to Mr. Amos.
THAT I attach as Exhibit "10" an e-mail from Mr. Amos received on
Sunday, 23 January 2005.
THAT I swear this Affidavit in support of the Application to strike
Mr. Prior's counterclaim.
SWORN to before me at
St. John's, Province of Newfoundland and Labrador this 24th day of
January, 2005.

Hello Lisa,
David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became
an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our
federal
election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of
Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal).
I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That
story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written
by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on
the candidates' debate held June 18.
As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.
The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.
I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo
taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo
that ran, but this one is very similar.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his
favourite possessions—motorcycles.
McKnight/KCR
The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's
not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about."
What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although…if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, 'what the hell.'"

I don't believe John Conway knows as much as he thinks he does so he
deserved to be somewhat more enlightened EH Brad Wall? Rest assured
that I called him and told him as much as he wanted to know while
Lingenfelter's campain manager played as dumb as a post about my
concerns.
However as dumb as Lingenfelter and his cohorts may pretend to be if
the NDP boss in SK truly practiced old style, right wing “take no
prisoners” politicking he who have embarassed the hell out of Brad
Wall last year with the letter from Jac Nasser to mean old me that is
hereto attached.
Anyone with two clues between their ears or even a dumb NDP dude would
know that BHP Billiton's Marius Kloppers visiting Brad Wall during an
election campaign is just no coincidence at all. Something smells
truly rotten indeed. However the only way to resolve my concerns is
byway of litigation CORRECT MR WALL?

How dumb was that? I must ask did he expect the cops to arrest both of
us and then call us both crazy? Hell Urquhart even bragged in front of
the cops that he did the same shit on July 4th, 2008 That malicious
nonsense didn't work out too well for the long gone lawyer and former
Minister of Health Mikey Murphy partcularly after the nasty French
bastard Chucky Lebanc and hs pals violated my privacy and blogged
about N'esy Pas? I told the cops last nght to simply Google my name and
the dumb bastards laughed.
FYI type in Davd Amos to see that I wa not jokng with the smiling dumb
bastards last nght Google will offer Chucky Leblanc's bullshit about
mean old me at the top of the hit list DUHHH?

Do tell does Carl Baby really think I won't sue his nasty arse
someday? Ya think the corrupt ex cop of Fat Fred City's Finest would
at least wait until he and his cohorts got sworn in to take over your
jobs EH?

I am not responding to Dave Amos' emails, but I believe I have heard
he has some "issues". I have no sense of what his involvement is with
the organization or why he is threatening law suits (my receptionist
just intercepted a call and he told her he didn't want to leave a
message and to just tell her that he would "see me in court").
Does anyone have any idea what to do about this guy? Should we just
ignore him?

COALITION CALLS ON LEADERS TO ACT IMMEDIATELY TO STOP OIL AND GAS
EXPLORATION IN GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE
For Immediate Release - October 4, 2010
PICTOU, NS – Today’s decision by the Canada Newfoundland and Labrador
Offshore Petroleum Board (CNLOPB) to allow seismic blasting in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence was met with shock and concern by a coalition
calling for a moratorium on oil and gas development in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence. The coalition - made of aboriginal, fishing, and
environmental organizations - is calling on municipal, provincial,
federal, and aboriginal leaders to act swiftly to halt the testing.
“With this decision, the CNLOPB has approved an activity that could
damage this entire precious ecosystem,” according to Mary Gorman of
the Save Our Seas and Shores, “We want this decision reversed
immediately, and action taken to allow jurisdictions bordering on the
Gulf to have a say in its future.”
“Seismic testing could start in the next 48 hours, potentially
damaging marine mammals like blue whales, and disrupting fish and
fisheries. This approval has given oil and gas as a toehold in the
Gulf that could lead to full scale drilling,” according to Danielle
Giroux of the. “Fishermen I work for need more say over protecting the
Gulf. We want the CNLOPB’s decision reversed immediately.”
“An oil spill in the Gulf of St. Lawrence would impact fish stocks and
coastal communities in Quebec, PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and
Newfoundland. Moreover, the national importance of this ecosystem must
be upheld.” says Gretchen Fitzgerald, of the Sierra Club Canada. “
Federal laws to protect endangered species and fish habitat recognize
the importance of protecting our shared biodiversity and resources.
This decision is not reflecting this shared responsibility or concerns
expressed by groups around the Gulf.”

Bennett was assisting Cape Bretoners opposing a coal-fired power plant
at Point Aconi in Nova Scotia when he first caught the attention
Elizabeth May, then Sierra Club Canada’s executive-director. May liked
his approach – among other things, he’d brought his wife and two
daughters to a potluck supper meeting and assured the group he was
there to hear from them, not issue orders. Several years – and, after
an interview on a train ride from Toronto to Ottawa -- later, she
hired him as the Club’s director of atmosphere and energy.
He managed environmental education campaigns; was the Club’s main
spokesperson on air, energy, automotive and climate change issues;
prepared fundraising proposals; and wrote position papers and research
articles.
During this period, Bennett also headed the Climate Action Network, an
association of up to 100 environmental, health, labour and faith
organizations from 10 provinces and two territories. There, he was
also the chief spokesperson, wrote releases and papers, and acted as
liaison with government officials, ministers, MPs, their staffs and
industry leaders. He did similar work with a successor organization,
ClimateforChange.ca.
It was then that he was involved in preparing reporters for the
federal Conservative government’s climate plan. “I figured we had to
talk to the media. We had to meet the government head-on, and say what
they were doing was going backward. We were very effective.”
The work “succeeded to the extent that when Stéphane Dion became
Liberal leader, the party thought the climate and environment were
where they should campaign. They were right; they just did it very
badly.”
A spirit of collaboration
Most recently, Bennett was communications director for the Green Party
of Canada, including the 2008 campaign in which the Greens, led by
May, won nearly a million votes and was the only party to increase its
total.
“It’s a well-rounded background, ranging from activist events to
negotiating in the halls of power,” Bennett says. “My knowledge covers
the spectrum of issues across the country.”
Bennett’s experience has demonstrated the importance of collaborating
with other groups and including as many people as possible, and their
ideas, in whatever work must be done. That was especially obvious in
the creation of the Green Budget Coalition, which analyzed federal
budgets in terms of their impact on environmental concerns.

Thank you for your e-mail which will be forwarded to the appropriate staff

The Kennedy electorate is a large electorate (about 2.5 times the size of
the entire State of Victoria) with almost 150,000 residents, over 120
schools and over 140 localities all with various service and sporting clubs.
For this reason we receive quite a large volume of faxes, letters, e-mails

Hi David. My name is James and I have been asked to send this message onto
you from Paul…
Dear Mr. Amos,
Thank you for informing me of your concerns regarding Canada's role in
Afghanistan after February 2007.
The NDP voted against this motion because we believe it is the wrong
mission for Canada. It does not reflect the peace-making values that
Canadians want to see our forces undertake on the world stage. This forced
motion essentially ties our aid and development funds to war-making, and we
cannot support that.
It is quite clear that Harper's Conservatives aren't interested in due
diligence. They're interested in dragging us further into a US-style combat
role and away from our traditional peace keeping role. Much like the
Liberals before them, the Conservatives have failed to tell Canadians:
- What the chain of command and control will be for this mission.
- What the definition of success will be for our troops.
- What our exit strategy will be.
Many Canadians have written me wanting answers and it is our duty as
representatives of our constituents, to get answers before committing to any
new missions overseas. As any soldier knows, time spent on reconnaissance is
never wasted.
New Democrats recognize that Canada does have a role in assisting Afghanis
in rebuilding their country. Afghanistan is the largest recipient of
Canadian overseas development aid and we fully support the continuation of
that funding - outside of this mission.
Thank you again for the time and effort you have taken to share your
thoughts with me, and for bringing your opinion on this matter to my
attention.
Sincerely,
Paul Dewar, MP Ottawa Centre

Hey
Before all the Parliamentarians argue and then vote to support
further Canadian deaths in one of George W. Bush's Wars for Global Control
for the benefit of his corporate cohorts perhaps, you should at least listen
to the attachments if you do not wish to bother to read what Billy Casey and
the Bankers got on May 12th. If I can assist in preventing the demise of
just one more Canadian warrior in a malicious foreign war, all of my work
will have been worth it EH?
If everyone ignores me as usual, I will not be surprised. At
least I will sleep well with my conscience tonight because I know I have
done my very best to stop the nonsense since early 2002 long before the War
in Iraq began. None of you deserve to sleep well at all because you all
supported Harper's orders to send our people to war even before the 39th
Parliament sat this year. As far as I am concerned the blood of four very
honourable soldiers can be found on your hands. Shame on all of you for not
even bothering to honour our dead by lowering the flag on the Peacetower. As
long as I have been aware and could consider myself a Proad Canadian, I
thought we were peacekeepers rather than poorly paid hired guns for crooked
corporations, corrupt politicians and their wicked Yankee bible pounding
buddies.

Without Prejudice
Good morning all,
Please see attached without prejudice memo from Board Staff consultants regarding possible resolution of NBEUB IR-54.
Our consultants will be on the call this morning to help with any questions.
Best, Abigail
Abigail J. Herrington | Associate (she/her)
Direct: 506 633 3532 Fax: 506 633 0465 Web: lawsoncreamer.com Address: 133 Prince William Street Suite 801, Saint John New Brunswick E2L 2B5
| |||||
Board Staff Response to NB Power’s Request for “Prioritization” of IR-54
Board Staff understands that NB Power’s concern is that in IR-54(b), the request is for a table identifying the source and vintage for each row of data manually pasted in the Inputs tab, and that providing support for each assumption may be time consuming due to some supporting materials being maintained by other NB Power staff or consultants who are not part of the NB Power group directly responsible for the CCAS model (the “CCAS group”).
Accordingly, Board Staff will accept a partial response to IR-54, provided the following information is provided, for each item requested in IR-54(a-f,i-j):
1. NB Power will identify the proximate source of the input data to the CCAS group (e.g., provided by a particular NB Power department or group; provided by a particular consultant; a new assumption by the CCAS group; a legacy assumption by the CCAS group).
2. NB Power will identify the vintage (or an estimate if the vintage is not known) of the data used in the Matter 529 and Matter 541 CCAS models.
3. NB Power will provide the data and supporting documents in the form received or created by the CCAS group, to the extent that those are still in the possession of CCAS group;
4. NB Power will make a reasonable effort to obtain other responsive information and supporting documents (e.g, by asking other staff at least one time);
5. NB Power will provide a description of where NB Power would obtain updates in the future; and
6. If NB Power is not able to produce the information requested, it should state that fact, and explain whether it would be possible to develop or obtain the information requested, on what time frame, and with what effort.
With respect to IR-54(g), Board Staff expects generally brief answers. For example, “Data are sourced to a triennial report.” Or, “Based on professional judgement of [named staff or department], this value does not vary enough from year to year to merit updating more frequently than once every five years.”
With respect to IR-54(h), Board Staff is willing to withdraw this request if it is onerous. The intent was to have a reference model that would allow for testing of alternative assumptions across the various models, but this can be accomplished with somewhat less transparency using direct alterations of individual CCAS models.

Hello Ms. Mitchell,
I’m pleased to advise that counsel for JDI and NB Power have had productive discussions. All but one request has been resolved and NB Power will be filing amended Responses.
The outstanding issue relates to NBP (JDI) IR-3(b) which requested that NB Power provide a copy of any preliminary reporting or drafts as provided by PwC to NB Power. If such reports or drafts exist (which is still to be confirmed), then NB Power is resisting production in any form.
Regards, Nancy Rubin

Secret participants and 'collusion' worries cause halt in N.B. Power hearing
Utility calls for consultant representing unnamed clients to be expelled
N.B. Power is asking that a consultant being paid to represent the unknown parties be expelled by the EUB and his evidence disallowed.
N.B. Power lawyer John Furey said the utility has believed since late last year that the consultant, William Marshall, had been representing only himself at the hearing but is now wondering if he is part of a larger "collusion" among other participants.
"It never crossed my mind that Mr. Marshall was here other than as a member of the public who is interested in the proceedings," Furey said during the virtual hearing last week. "That he was actually representing an unnamed third party, I find that — I am shocked by it, frankly.
"It creates the possibility that there are other interveners in this proceeding who have also retained Mr. Marshall, and we now have collusion or corroboration through Mr. Marshall of the position that another intervener is taking to create the impression for the Board that there is consensus. It is absolutely unfair."
The hearing, which was postponed earlier in the spring for unrelated reasons was finally scheduled to conclude last Friday but has now been adjourned until Aug. 10 to hear arguments on how to deal with N.B. Power's concerns about cloaked participants.

last week proceedings could not continue until N.B. Power's demand that a
consultant be removed is dealt with. (Graham Thompson/CBC)
Final arguments on transmission rates themselves, which were originally supposed to be in place back on April 1, have been delayed until Sept. 9.
N.B. Power's extensive transmission system serves a variety of businesses and generators that depend upon it to move electricity in and around the Maritime provinces, Maine, Quebec and deeper into New England.
The operation of the system, including its fees and expenses, is regulated by the New Brunswick Energy and Utilites Board.
Multiple parties, including Marshall, are participating in the hearing and have been challenging N.B. Power plans to raise fees for its transmission services. One particularly controversial proposal is a plan to more than quadruple what N.B. Power charges to "balance" the uneven flow of electricity through its system caused by the up and down production of area wind farms.
N.B.
Power has nearly 7,000 kilometres of high-voltage transmission lines
crisscrossing New Brunswick. The system costs up to $145 million a year
to operate, and fees charged to system users offset a portion of that. (NB Power/Facebook)
Marshall is a former senior N.B. Power executive and once oversaw the operation of the transmission system as president of the independent New Brunswick System Operator, which was absorbed by N.B. Power several years ago. He has operated a private consulting business for the last 14 years.
Marshall's consulting company WKM Energy Consultants Inc. registered to participate in the hearing on its own behalf.
But under questioning last week by acting public intervener Rick Williams, Marshall confirmed the company is being paid by "more than one" silent party to represent them.
Under additional questioning by Furey, Marshall acknowledged the parties did not want their participation to be known.
N.B.
Power is responsible for 'balancing' the power produced by wind
turbines in New Brunswick, northern Maine and Prince Edward Island. The
current transmission hearing is considering a proposal to substantially
raise fees on wind producers. (Shane Fowler/CBC News)
"The clients that I am [representing] really did not want to be identified by themselves that they were here, so I am doing it on their behalf," Marshall said.
"The concern of my client is that, you know, several of them have relationships with N.B. Power, and they don't want to tarnish those relationships."
Marshall said it was explicitly in his original application to participate in the matter that his company had an interest in participating because it "works regularly with many parties throughout the region" who are affected by N.B. Power's transmission policies and charges.
He offered to disclose the identities of those who hired him in confidence to the EUB, but Furey took the position the parties who hired Marshall should be the listed participants even if Marshall is the one who presents their arguments.
"It is not in the public interest to permit Interveners to represent the interests of undisclosed or unidentified third-party commercial interests," Furey wrote in a formal notice of motion calling for Marshall to be expelled and evidence he has submitted to be struck.
"The only possible purpose of such a form of intervention is secrecy, which is contrary to the "open court" principle which governs Canadian courts and tribunals," he concluded.
Saint
John Energy is represented at N.B. Power's transmission hearing by a
lawyer hired by it and New Brunswick's other two municipal utilities. It
won't say if it is also secretly being represented by consultant
Willian Marshall. (Saint John Energy)
Under questioning, Marshall listed eight clients of his consulting company that would be impacted by a change in transmission charges in New Brunswick and suggested "some" of those eight were the ones he was representing.
Among the eight are Saint John Energy, which takes electricity off N.B. Power's transmission system to supply city customers, and Liberty Utilities, which owns the Tinker hydroelectric dam that links to N.B. Power's transmission system near the Maine and New Brunswick border.
Marshall did not say if either company is among the ones he is working for, but both are represented separately at the hearing already, and Furey said there is a danger a secret participant enjoyed "double representation" throughout the hearing and potentially benefited from unfair procedural tricks.
"One possible outcome is that one representative of the third-party interest would be in a position to cross-examine (and thus ask leading questions of) an expert retained by the second representative of the third-party interest," wrote Furey in his formal notice of motion.
"Double representation may also result in the stacking of multiple expert witnesses, creating a false impression for the board that there is consensus that does not truly exist."
On Monday, Saint John Energy would not comment on whether it is one of the parties paying Marshall.
"There is currently a motion in with the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board on this issue," company spokesperson Jessica DeLong wrote in an email..
"We will not be commenting at this time out of respect for the NBEUB's process."
The EUB said if a resolution between N.B. Power and Marshall can be worked out, Aug. 10 may be used to hear final arguments. Otherwise the day will be devoted to hearing the utility's application to have Marshall barred from participating.

>> A. Introduction
>>
>> [1] This decision arises out of an application filed by the New
>> Brunswick Power Corporation (NB Power) on May 5, 2021 (Application)
>> pursuant to section 43 of the Energy and Utilities Board Act, S.N.B.
>> 2006, c. E-9.18 (Act) and Rules 1.2.5 and 8.1.1 of the Board’s Rules
>> of Procedure (Rules of Procedure).
>>
>> [2] NB Power requests that the Board vary its decision of August 4,
>> 2020 (Matter 357
>> Decision), by granting an extension of the time required for it to
>> file an application
>> regarding the first phase of the rate design process from June 30,
>> 2021, to a date no later than June 30, 2022.
>>
>> [3] In the Matter 357 Decision, the Board directed NB Power to
>> commence a new proceeding to include three distinct phases: first, to
>> file an application by June 30, 2021, to address certain issues
>> identified in the decision; second, to provide details of the timing
>> and issues to be resolved, which would identify rate design options
>> and determine the rate structure; and third, to establish and
>> implement a new rate design.
>>
>> [4] On May 12, the Board ordered that NB Power serve the Application
>> and supporting
>> materials on all parties in Matter 357 and post them on its website.
>> NB Power filed an
>> affidavit, sworn on June 3, confirming that the Application and the
>> Notice of the
>> Application were posted in accordance with the Board’s Order. The Notice
>> of
>> the
>> Application was also published on May 13 in four daily provincial
>> newspapers.
>>
>> [5] At the hearing on June 8, Mr. Furey confirmed that NB Power
>> complied with Rules 8.2.3 and 8.2.6 of the Rules of Procedure with
>> respect to service and filing.
>>
>> [6] Written submissions were received from Mr. Scott Stoll, as counsel
>> for Utilities Municipal, and Ms. Heather Black, the Public Intervener.
>>
>> [7] Written submissions were also received from Mr. David Amos, Ms.
>> Liz Kramer, and Dr. Roger Richard. The Board finds that none of these
>> written submissions addressed the merits of the issue at hand, whether
>> the Board should vary the Matter 357 Decision, as described in the
>> Application.
>>
>> B. Issues
>>
>> [8] The key issue in this matter is whether the Board should vary its
>> Matter 357 Decision as described above and, if so, under what
>> conditions.
>>
>> C. Analysis
>>
>> [9] The Board held a hearing on June 8 by video conference and heard
>> oral submissions on behalf of NB Power, Dr. Richard, Utilities
>> Municipal, and the Public Intervener.
>> [10] Mr. Furey submitted that there are new facts since the Matter 357
>> Decision that have resulted in changed circumstances that, in the
>> overall context of these rate design
>> proceedings, make up sufficient grounds to vary the decision. He
>> further submitted that the expected easing of restrictions, referred
>> to by the provincial government as the “Path to Green”, is not the end
>> of business impacts as a result of the pandemic.
>> [11] Mr. Furey stated that the Board should consider the following
>> “four contextual factors” in its decision to extend the time to file
>> an application with respect to rate design:
>> (1) In the Matter 357 Decision, the Board identified that rate design
>> proceedings will move forward in a three-phase approach and that, in
>> NB Power’s submission, the Board correctly characterized this first
>> phase as laying a foundation for future rate design proceedings.
>> (2) The Board has recognized that decisions in this round of rate
>> design proceedings
>> would likely have long-term impacts for all customers, in particular,
>> the commercial and industrial classes. Mr. Furey submitted that NB
>> Power is required to bring forward proposals with respect to customer
>> classification, including an action plan for the elimination of the
>> General Service II class.
>> (3) Proposed changes to rate design impacts on the rates and bills of
>> certain
>> customers, especially in the commercial and industrial classes.
>> (4) The importance assigned by the Board to the ability, through
>> advocates,
>> of
>> under-represented customers, to make submissions, which would contribute
>> to
>> the rate design process.
>>
>> [12] Dr. Richard submitted that he had no objection to extending the
>> time to file an application to June 30, 2022.
>>
>> [13] Utilities Municipal supported the Application, subject to two
>> comments. First, Mr. Stoll expressed a concern that there may be a
>> strain on the resources of some regular participants in Board
>> proceedings, given the number of potential hearings within the next 18
>> months.
>>
>> Second, he stated that he does not wish to see this proceeding
>> “languish for another year.” Mr. Stoll suggested that NB Power
>> continue with any work using an “[…] incremental approach to the rate
>> design process so that we don’t inadvertently end up circling back or
>> redoing certain things […].”
>>
>> [14] In its submission, Utilities Municipal stated that it was not
>> able to identify specific work, but rather requested that the Board
>> seek input from NB Power about what would be possible to advance the
>> proceeding during any extension of time.
>>
>> [15] In its reply of June 4, NB Power responded to Mr. Stoll’s
>> comments, agreeing that efforts should be made to avoid overlapping of
>> proceedings before the Board. It suggested that its proposed deadline
>> of June 30, 2022, would accomplish that objective. It noted that, in
>> the meantime, it could advance work on certain issues and utilize a
>> more up-to-date budget and load data.
>>
>> [16] In her written submission dated May 27, Ms. Black supported the
>> Application stating that she had no objection to the extension of time
>> requested. Ms. Black stated that she supported the suggestion that NB
>> Power file a plan to overcome what was referred to as the
>> “representation gap” to ensure that, for example, residential
>> customers’ interests are adequately represented.
>>
>> [17] Section 43 of the Act states:
>> 43 The Board may review, rescind or vary any order made by it.
>>
>> [18] Rules 1.2.5 and 8.1.1 of the Rules of Procedure state:
>> 1.2.5. The Board may in its discretion extend or abridge the time
>> fixed by these Rules or by the Board, on its own initiative or in
>> response to a request by a party, either before or after the time so
>> fixed has expired.
>>
>> 8.1.1. An application to review, rescind, or vary an order under section
>> 43
>> of
>> the Act, or to rehear an application under section 44 of the Act shall
>> contain:
>> a) a concise statement of the facts;
>> b) the grounds that the applicant considers sufficient, including:
>> i. any error of law or of jurisdiction,
>> ii. changed circumstances or new facts that have arisen since the
>> close of the original proceeding, or
>> iii. facts that were not placed in evidence in the original proceeding
>> and that were then not discoverable by reasonable diligence;
>> c) any prejudice or damage that has resulted or will result from the
>> order;
>> and
>> d) the relief sought.
>>
>> [19] Accordingly, the Board has the discretion to vary its Matter 357
>> Decision by granting an extension of the time required for NB Power to
>> file its rate design application.
>>
>> [20] In making a determination with respect to a variance, the Board
>> must consider the criteria set out under Rule 8.1.1 of the Rules of
>> Procedure, and owes a duty of fairness to those who are affected by
>> its decisions.
>>
>> [21] As stated in the Matter 357 Decision, the Board needs to consider
>> how the views of
>> consumer groups will be represented in relation to rate design. The
>> Board’s hearing
>> procedure encourages public participation to provide a meaningful
>> opportunity to present
>> their case fully and fairly.
>>
>> [22] Due to the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, however,
>> the Board recognizes that some people may not have this opportunity,
>> should the proceeding continue as currently scheduled.
>>
>> D. Conclusion
>>
>> [23] In light of these circumstances, the Board varies the Matter 357
>> Decision and grants an extension of time, as requested. NB Power is to
>> file an application to address the issues identified as the first
>> phase in the Matter 357 Decision to a date no later than June 30,
>> 2022, subject to the direction below.
>>
>> [24] The Board directs NB Power to file a proposal to address any gap
>> in relation to under-represented customers, as referenced in the
>> Matter 357 Decision, by October 31, 2021.
>>
>> Dated at Saint John, New Brunswick, this 16th day of June, 2021.

Good afternoon, Ms. Mitchell,
Please find attached for filing the following documents on behalf of Board Staff:
With respect to the above-noted documents, please be advised that document #1 replaces the public version previously filed with the Board. Board Staff, with the consent of NB Power, have removed some of the redactions from the original document, making further information available to the public. Given the compressed timeline in this matter, Board Staff were unable to consult with NB Power prior to filing its evidence and, accordingly, erred on the side of over-caution in its initial redactions.
Furthermore, please be advised that Board Staff will be filing via separate email a Confidential version of the Evidence of Mr. Musco with only Confidential Restricted information redacted, making further confidential information available to interveners who have signed a confidentiality undertaking. Any intervener who has signed a Confidentiality Undertaking may request a copy of the Confidential evidence from Board Staff. The Confidential version of Mr. Musco’s evidence previously filed with the Board should be marked as Confidential Restricted and, accordingly, will only be provided to the Public Intervener and to NB Power.

The purpose of the session is to provide an opportunity for stakeholder input relating to the following issues that were raised by stakeholders in the 2017/18 General Rate Application (GRA): · Adjustment mechanisms for mitigating the impact of variances in financial results on progress toward NB Power legislated equity target; and · Enhancing the information provided in the 10 Year Plan that NB Power files for information purposes as part of each GRA by incorporating additional scenarios such as the worst and best credible case scenarios. In preparation for the July 11 session, you are invited to participate in a conference call on June 26 at 2 pm. The purpose of the call is to establish the July 11 agenda and your interest in participating in this session. The July 11 is intended to address matters related to material to be included in NB Power’s 2018/19 General Rate Application which will be filed in late September or early October. This session will not deal with issues related to NB Power’s Class Cost Allocation Studies since they are being addressed in a separate and on-going stakeholder engagement process. In addition, issues that are part of the Rate Design Application (Matter 357) that is before the Board cannot be addressed as part of this Stakeholder Engagement Session. All matters currently under the purview of the EUB Advisory Group that is establishing GRA minimum filing requirements are also beyond the scope of this Stakeholder Engagement Session. Your participation and insight on the above noted topics would be appreciated as NB Power strives to prepare information that reflects common beliefs and to consider the alternate scenarios that are of interest to stakeholders. Please advise by reply email of your interest and availability to participate in the conference call by end of day on June 22 or by phoning NB Power Regulatory Affairs at 458-4022. Participants in the conference call will receive details regarding the conference call-in number after June 22. Thank you.

Power customers $1.7B for Maritime Link Megaproject built to deliver hydroelectricity from Muskrat Falls in Labrador Paul Withers · CBC News · Posted: Feb 09, 2022 1:49 PM AST Three workers dressed in yellow rain gear with black hard hats stand on a ship handling cable being installed on the sea floor. Workers make sure the subsea cable being installed as part of the Maritime Link project doesn't tangle as it's transferred onto a vessel on May 26, 2017. (Nic Meloney/CBC) Halifax-based utility Emera Inc. has been given "final cost" approval to recover $1.7 billion from Nova Scotia Power customers for the Maritime Link megaproject. The overland and subsea transmission system was built to deliver hydroelectricity from the Muskrat Falls hydro project in Labrador across Newfoundland and under the Cabot Strait into Nova Scotia. In a 94-page decision issued Wednesday, the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board said Emera subsidiary Nova Scotia Power Maritime Link prudently and effectively managed the project despite numerous setbacks, including the failures of two major contractors. "The planning and development of the Maritime Link Project was a significant endeavour. There have been numerous examples across North America of substantial cost overruns and construction delays of energy megaprojects," the board said in its decision. "The completion of the Maritime Link Project on time and on budget was a commendable achievement attributed to NSPML's actions throughout all phases of the project." 35 years to repay Emera Ratepayers in Nova Scotia will be paying down the $1.7-billion approved cost over 35 years, including a nine percent rate of return. In 2022, the bill amounts to $169 million While electricity from Muskrat Falls, known as the Nova Scotia block, recently began flowing into the province at contracted levels, there have been lengthy delays in delivery from Newfoundland. Emera's partner, Newfoundland and Labrador's Nalcor Energy, is years behind schedule and billions over budget with the Muskrat Falls project. To protect Nova Scotia Power customers, starting in April the board ordered Emera to hold back $2 million per month it collects from ratepayers. If less than 90 percent of the Nova Scotia Block is delivered the money will be used to pay for replacement energy. Lawyer Bill Mahody, representing Nova Scotia Power residential customers, said the holdback is an important protection. "In the event the energy is not received from Muskrat, Nova Scotia Power is likely to have to go out and replace that energy at additional costs. The $2-million amount on a monthly basis can be used to offset those costs and will not be paid by ratepayers," Mahody told CBC News. Bonuses chopped The regulator also disallowed some costs Emera wanted to charge ratepayers. It disallowed 50 per cent, or $6 million, in executive bonuses, $300,000 in charitable donations unrelated to the project, $700,000 in above-market-price rent paid to another Emera subsidiary, and $500,000 in operating and maintenance costs. In a statement Emera said it will satisfy all directives in decision. "We remain focused on working with Nalcor to ensure Nova Scotia customers continue to receive the full benefits of the Maritime Link project," the company said. "NSP Maritime Link committed to completing the Maritime Link project on time and on budget. The team delivered on that commitment, as the UARB has acknowledged in its decision today." How Emera jammed the regulator The review board delivered a mixed verdict on the so-called "acceleration agreement" between Emera and Nalcor that triggered the flow of the Nova Scotia Block, allowing Emera to file its "final cost" application for the Maritime Link. Not surprisingly, given the history of problems and delays, less than 20 percent of contracted amounts of Nova Scotia Block electricity were actually delivered between August 2021 and the regulatory hearing in December. "Had the Board known at the time the hearing was set down that only 19% of the energy would flow between August 15 and November 30, 2021, the Board would not have agreed to have the hearing at this time," the board wrote.

There's construction equipment on a dirt lot at the bottom left. The Muskrat Falls hydro project has been years behind schedule and is billions of dollars over budget. (CBC) However, the board sided with the company in its claim the acceleration agreement got hydro into Nova Scotia much faster than had it waited for final commissioning of the project. That has been held up by software bugs in Nalcor's Labrador Island Link, a 1,100-kilometre high-voltage DC transmission line from Muskrat Falls in central Labrador, site of the 824-megawatt power-generating station, to Soldiers Pond on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula. Final commissioning is not expected until the end of May at the earliest. "Moreover, the NS Block provides valuable renewable energy which counts towards NS Power's Renewable Electricity Standards requirements and addresses some of the Utility's [greenhouse gas] requirements, with potentially significant financial implications if not satisfied by the end of the current compliance period on December 31, 2022," the board wrote. Project still needs tracking The decision frequently refers to the lengthy delays in delivery of Muskrat Falls hydro, noting that Nova Scotia Power "overpromised and under-delivered when they described benefits from the Maritime Link." And the board remains skeptical, despite praise for the management of the project itself. It ordered the company to continue filing quarterly reports. How do you lay a 170-km cable on the bottom of the sea? Slowly and carefully Ottawa to give N.L. billions of dollars to offset Muskrat Falls costs "It is clear that delivery of the expected energy and capacity via the Maritime Link has not materialized. It is also clear that delays continue to be experienced with commissioning the [Labrador Island Link]."
