This book arrives at a time when further changes in the regulatory arena are
being considered in response to the ongoing evolution of the Canadian natural
gas industry. Greater efficiency in all aspects of gas supply, transmission
and distribution is critical, and this has generally sharpened the focus of
regulation on efficiency issues.
This study sets out regulatory fundamentals and traditional regimes, and examines
some of the main alternatives concerning the regulation of major gas pipelines
in Canada. It draws on regulatory changes and experiments with respect to other
sectors, such as telecommunications and electricity, as well as the pipeline
sector in other jurisdictions.
The study should be of great interest to regulated companies in gas transmission
and distribution, oil pipelines, oil and gas producers, regulators, governments,
and academics. Because of its generic nature, it should also be of interest
to individuals involved in the regulation of other utilities.
