N.B. Power's rate hearing is online, start to finish

 
 
 

It won't be going viral, but N.B. Power's rate hearing is online, start to finish

Live viewership rarely exceeds 50 but EUB wants its proceedings to be more accessible

N.B. Power's two-week rate hearing underway in Fredericton is not exactly gripping television, but for the first time, the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board has been streaming the proceeding and posting the daily seven-hour videos on YouTube.

Live viewership of the detailed examination of N.B. Power's request to raise its rates 4.75 per cent rarely exceeds 50 people during the day but the effort is part of a plan by the regulator to make its work more accessible to the public.

The regulator has been dabbling in "webcasting" for the past year in what it calls part of its mandate to "provide transparent and open processes."

Over the first four days of the hearing, it has posted 30 hours of content.

"The Board remains committed to promoting a greater understanding of its processes and the evidence presented in the matters which come before it," EUB chair Christopher Stewart wrote of the video initiative in the board's most recent annual report.

The EUB is already one of New Brunswick's most open government tribunals.

It hosts an enormous document storage site that contains for public viewing — with some confidential exceptions — all of the evidence submitted in every case it has dealt with for the past 15 years. 

It also posts online transcripts and decisions in cases that stretch back to the early 1990s.

Duration 2:33
 
Anyone willing to fill out the paperwork can have the chance to grill N.B. Power executives over proposed power rate increases.

In addition, the board has a tradition of welcoming ordinary citizens to participate in even major proceedings, giving them time and status equal to that of lawyers flown in to represent the province's largest industrial interests.

A regular participant in recent hearings has been Shelley Petit with the New Brunswick Coalition of Persons with Disabilities.

Petit has been questioning witnesses in N.B. Power's current rate hearing live from home, spending more than an hour grilling N.B. Power senior vice-president Darren Murphy and chief financial officer Justin Urquhart on day one.

On day three, when Petit was in danger of missing her turn to question one panel of witnesses because of a medical appointment, Stewart pledged to rearrange matters so that wouldn't happen.

"If you're not [here] then before we're done, we'll circle back to you , or when we know you're back, we'll circle back to you, and we'll just deal with it in that fashion as we go," Stewart said to Petit  about not losing her turn.

Pierre Poilievre Squares Off Against Mark Carney | Question Period | Mar 11

Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre squared off during question period in the House of Commons this afternoon.

Methinks the Bankster/PM who rarely bothers to come to question period did so in order to have some fun teasing the opposition who supported the Throne Speech and Budget in a secretive fashion because they knew they would lose the next election bigtime if they were cause it.

However the Fat Lady has not sung yet about the Senate having third reading of the Budget 2025 Implementation Act. So the opposition may get the last laugh which is always the best N'esy Pas?
 
 
As I watched Carney the latest Ringmaster of the Circus join his federal cohorts having fun today I thought of what CBC News Posted: March 04, 2026

"Central bankers have more fun: Carney" In a more relaxed tone, Carney also used the f-word while telling a story from his time as a central banker. Michael Fullilove, the executive director of the Lowy Institute who hosted the chat, asked whether central bankers or prime ministers have more fun. Carney chose central bankers, recalling “crazy” dinners and “good wine." He told a story from when he was two weeks into his job as governor of the Bank of Canada in early 2008, during the collapse of U.S. investment bank Bear Sterns. Carney said that during a dinner with the G-10 central banks, the group had about an hour and a half to make a decision.

Carney drops f-word in anecdote, says bankers have more fun than politicians March 4| Duration 1:56 In a more relaxed moment during an armchair discussion at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia, Prime Minister Mark Carney drops the f-word while telling a story from his time as Governor of the Bank of Canada. Carney was asked who has more fun between central bankers and prime ministers. He recalled being welcomed by the chair, a seven-course meal and being offered what the chair called “the best wine in Europe." However, Carney said the chair took a long time to list and detail every choice of wine. “And he's like, ‘Well have this one, but you know, the pinot grigio,’ and I’m like f--k,” Carney said, laughing. He said that after the wine discussion, there was one hour left to make the financial decisions. “An hour later, all I remember is, man the wine is fantastic,” he said.

Liberal House leader ‘starting to worry’ about support for upcoming budget

Minister MacKinnon dismissing ‘ludicrous’ demands other parties have put forward for the budget

Liberal House leader Steve MacKinnon signalled Tuesday that he’s concerned the government’s budget might not get support from the opposition benches, while at the same time dismissing some demands other parties have laid out.

The Liberal government will need the co-operation of at least one other party in order to pass the budget, which is being tabled on Nov. 4. Because the budget is a confidence vote, Canadians could be facing another election if it doesn’t pass.

"When I see opposition parties ruling out the possibility of voting for the budget, that's starting to worry me," MacKinnon told reporters on Parliament Hill.

Asked about the upcoming federal budget, Steven MacKinnon says he's concerned that two opposition parties 'are not taking this matter very seriously' and that he doesn't think Canadians want another election.

On Monday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre penned a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney saying he wants to see an “affordable budget” that includes broad tax cuts and keeping the deficit under $42 billion.

Meanwhile, the Bloc Québécois has said they have six key priorities for the budget including: an increase to the federal health transfer to the provinces, new infrastructure investments, an expansion of the rapid housing initiative, interest-free loans for first-time homebuyers and boosting Old Age Security (OAS) payments for those ages 65 to 75.

Despite raising concerns about getting support for the budget, MacKinnon dismissed both the Conservative and Bloc demands.

"We intend to present a plan to Canadians to deal with this very critical moment in our history, and what we're seeing is opposition parties — the Bloc Québécois, who without having even read the budget, eliminating the possibility that they'll support it — and Conservatives making just ludicrous demands,” he said Tuesday.

Up to government to get support: NDP

NDP interim Leader Don Davies fired back at MacKinnon’s comments, saying it's up to the government to gather support for its budget.

"The question of whether there is an election is entirely up to Mr. Carney. As a leader of a government with a minority in Parliament, it's up to him to craft a budget that can win the support of at least one opposition party. That's his job," Davies said during a press conference in Ottawa on Tuesday.

WATCH | NDP will wait until the budget is tabled next month, Davies says:
 
 Davies says no discussions had with Liberals on exchanges for budget support

NDP interim leader Don Davies has dismissed reports that his party would negotiate with the Liberal government for budget support as ‘simply not true.’ He said the NDP will wait until the budget is tabled next month before deciding to back it.

"For Mr. MacKinnon to say he's worried, well that has me worried. Because the government should be reaching out to all the parties and working collaboratively to make sure that they can get enough votes to have the budget passed."

While the NDP caucus was reduced to only seven seats after April’s election, they still have enough sway to determine the outcome of a vote. The Liberals could pass the budget if New Democrats support it or abstain from the vote.

Davies met with Carney earlier this month to lay out his party’s priorities for the budget. He told reporters after the meeting that he wants to see “substantial investment” in jobs, health care and housing — though he didn’t list specific items.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) released a report last month forecasting that the government will post an annual deficit of $68.5 billion this year, up from $51.7 billion last year.

But that update does not include plans to incrementally ramp up defence spending to meet the updated NATO benchmark of five per cent of GDP by 2035, nor does it factor in Ottawa's announced plans to reduce public service spending over the next three years.

Court adjourns veterans’ benefits class action pending outcome of proposed retroactive legislation

By Karunjit Singh 

Law360 Canada (December 23, 2025, 3:09 PM EST) -- The Federal Court has adjourned a certification motion in a proposed class action challenging the practice of prorating certain indexation adjustments for veterans’ benefits pending the outcome of proposed legislation that could end the class action.

In St-Jean v. Canada, 2025 FC 2000, released on Dec. 18, Justice Russel Zinn concluded it was in the interests of justice to grant the requested adjournment rather than press on with the certification motion.

“I have reached this conclusion primarily on the basis that justice is better served in proceeding when it is known whether the provisions of Bill C-15 have received assent,” the judge wrote.

The plaintiff, André St-Jean, sought to represent a class of individuals who were affected by the practice of prorating certain indexation adjustments for certain financial benefits, including the earnings loss benefit (ELB), the retirement income security benefit (RISB) and the income replacement benefit (IRB), available to disabled veterans.

The lawsuit alleges that between April 2006 and April 2019, Canada adopted the practice of prorating the indexation of inputs on which benefits were calculated.

The plaintiff alleges the practice resulted in the putative class of more than 40,000 disabled veterans being paid less than the fully indexed benefits to which they were otherwise entitled based on annual adjustments reflecting increases in the consumer price index.

In April 2019, the Veterans Well-being Act and Veterans Well-being Regulations came into force and expressly forbade the practice.

On Nov. 18, 2025, the federal government tabled Bill C-15, which proposes to amend, with retroactive effect, provisions of the Regulations to specify that the first annual indexation adjustments to certain amounts used in the calculation of the ELB are to be prorated.

Canada sought an adjournment of the certification motion on the basis that the bill, if enacted, could have a determinative effect on the certification criteria, particularly on whether the claim discloses a reasonable cause of action.

Canada also submitted that the length of the requested adjournment would be relatively short, as the outcome of Bill C-15 is expected to become clear by April 2026.

The plaintiff opposed adjournment, arguing that it would be uniquely harmful to the putative class comprised of veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces who became mentally and/or physically disabled while serving Canada.

The plaintiff also submitted that Canada’s conduct in advancing Bill C-15 is aimed at thwarting the proposed class from exercising their existing rights and providing ex post facto legislative authority for the practice of prorating the benefits.

He further submitted that he intended to mount a challenge to the constitutionality of the proposed retroactive legislation if it becomes law.

Justice Zinn held that justice would be better served in proceeding when it is known whether the provisions of Bill C-15 have received assent.

“If it does receive assent, then the certification request appears to be dependent on the validity of the amendments and that will require a unique finding of the Court based on materials not presently before it,” the judge wrote.

He further noted that if the proposed amendments do not receive assent or are amended such that they have no impact on the action, the certification motion would have suffered only a slight delay, with little to no prejudice to either party.

The court granted Canada’s motion to adjourn the certification motion.

Counsel for the plaintiff, Malcolm Ruby of Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP, said the government was seeking to retroactively give itself authority for conduct that lacked statutory authorization.

“I believe it’s the intention of the federal government to end the class action through the legislation,” Ruby told Law360 Canada.

Ruby added that the government is also attempting to shut down two other lawsuits through retroactive legislation: Estate of Gordon Allen and Stanley Broski v. His Majesty the King and Raymond White et al. v. His Majesty the King.

White et al. is a certified class action alleging that Veterans Affairs Canada miscalculated annual pension indexation by using the wrong comparators, contrary to statutory requirements, while the Estate of Gordon Allen and Stanley Broski concerns allegations that veterans who received long-term care benefits under the Veterans Health Care Regulations were overcharged for the cost of that care.

Ruby said retroactive legislation is rare, describing it as a “thermonuclear weapon” in litigation.

He added that if Bill C-15 is enacted, the plaintiff intends to argue that putative class members are being discriminated against on the basis of disability.

Adam Bazak of Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP, Angela Bespflug of Murphy Battista LLP and Donnaree Nygard of Nygard Legal also acted as counsel for the plaintiff.

Counsel for Canada were Laura Tausky, Asad Moten, Margaret Cormack and Adam Kouri of the Department of Justice Canada.

Re: Unfair Veterans-related Measures in Bill C-15, Budget 2025 Implementation Act 



December 12, 2025  

The Honourable Jill McKnight, P.C., M.P. 
Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence
66 Slater Street, 16th Floor 
Ottawa, Ontario  K1A 0P4 

Re: Unfair Veterans-related Measures in Bill C-15, Budget 2025 Implementation Act 

Dear Minister McKnight, 

After careful review, and after hearing many concerns from the Veteran community, I must point out the unfairness I believe will result from certain retroactive measures contained within the Budget 2025 Implementation Act (Bill C-15). 

Contrary to what was originally intended in the Interpretation Act, sections 373-375 of Bill C-15 would retroactively redefine “province” to exclude the territories in the Veterans Health Care Regulations as it relates to Accommodations and Meals payment by some Veterans in long term care. In so doing, Veterans Affairs Canada would effectively legitimize its past overcharges to Veterans and nullify ongoing litigation aimed at securing reimbursement for affected Veterans.   

It is inconceivable that the Department of Justice and Veterans Affairs Canada personnel who drafted the Veterans Health Care Regulations would have been unaware of the Interpretation Act that has for many decades prior to 1993 expressly defined “province” to include the territories. Indeed, the Department of Justice had published internal guidance that references the Interpretation Act in their 1995 “Guide to the Making of Federal Acts and Regulations”. Therefore, one must assume that the drafters understood that the word “province” in the Veterans Health Care Regulations was meant to include the territories and thus conclude that the Department made a mistake in not doing so when undertaking the Accommodations and Meals calculations. 

I believe that using retroactive legislation to correct administrative errors is both inappropriate and unfair and undermines confidence in government decision-making, sets a troubling precedent, and denies justice to those who served our country. Normally, retroactive provisions are limited to changes in legislation or regulations only back to the date of a formal government announcement of such intended change; for example, a change in tax rules announced in a budget and made retroactive in a budget implementation act to the date of the budget announcement.  In this case, however, retroactivity of almost 30 years is extraordinary; the amendments proposed in Bill C-15 should be prospective only. 

Ultimately, it is clear to the Veteran community that Bill C-15 sections 373-375 are meant solely to correct an error made by the Department and to deny them compensation for the overcharge. VAC already faces growing reputational backlash over the manner in which it communicates with Canada’s Veterans, their families and Survivors. I fear this retroactivity measure, if enacted, will only increase the deep distrust in Veterans Affairs Canada that, sadly, I hear about far too often.  

On behalf of our most elderly and disabled Veterans who would be unfairly and disproportionately affected by these retroactive amendments, I would ask that they be removed from Bill C-15.  Beyond that, I believe acknowledging the error and making whole those Veterans who were affected would be a step in the right direction towards regaining the trust of this community.  

 

Sincerely,

"The lawsuit was filed in fall 2012 by the group that claims the New
Veterans Charter is unconstitutional and violates the Charter of
Rights and Freedoms. It was approved by a unanimous vote of Parliament
in 2006 and amended in 2011 as a result of public outcry.

Current and former Canadian Forces members are appalled that the
lifetime disability pension for disabled soldiers has been replaced by
lump-sum payments.

Inside court, government lawyer Paul Vickery told a three-judge panel
the appeal was necessary because the soldiers’ claims could negatively
impact fundamental democratic principles.

He told court that while the government readily acknowledges the great
value and sacrifice of the soldiers, Parliament is the “only
appropriate forum” for resolving the claims made in the lawsuit.

“The appeal which the attorney general brings before you is not
brought out of any lack of appreciation of those services,” Vickery
said.

A second federal lawyer then attacked the plaintiffs’ main argument
that they deserve benefits in line with the previous regime, the
Pension Act, based on historical promises. He did not dispute that the
new scheme is “less generous.”

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Mr. David Amos

Dear Mr. Amos:

This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29,
2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.

Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have
taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve
Graham of the RCMP °J" Division in Fredericton.

Sincerely,

Honourable Michael B. Murphy
Minister of Health

Dear Mr. Amos,

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.

As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
policing in Petitcodiac, NB.

It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

Sincerely,
