Assessment Model Review
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Associate Ministry of Natural Gas and Electricity have been jointly leading a stakeholder engagement process on assessment model changes for wells and pipelines since January 2020. The process was embargoed until late July, at which time AUMA and RMA, and their members, started speaking out about their concerns with the proposed changes. AUMA held an online webinar and discussion for members on August 14, 2020.
