1. Introduction

This annual report describes how the Northern Pipeline Agency (NPA) met its responsibilities in administering the Access to Information Act (ATIA) during fiscal year 2023-2024.

The Access to Information Act

The ATIA came into force on July 1, 1983, and gives the public the right of access to information contained in federal government records, subject to certain limited and specific exceptions.

Section 72 of the ATIA requires that the head of every government institution prepare an annual report on the administration of the ATIA during the financial year and table it in Parliament.

The Northern Pipeline Agency

Description

The NPA was created with the proclamation of the Northern Pipeline Act in April 1978 to oversee planning and construction of the Canadian portion of the Alaska Highway Natural Gas Pipeline Project by the Foothills Group of Companies. The Minister of Energy and Natural Resources is responsible for the Northern Pipeline Act, and for the management and direction of the NPA and reporting to Parliament on its activities. The Deputy Minister Natural Resources Canada serves as the Commissioner of the NPA.

Mandate

The NPA mandate is twofold. First, it carries out Government of Canada responsibilities in relation to the pipeline and facilitates the efficient and expeditious planning and construction of the pipeline, taking into account local and regional interests, in particular those of Indigenous Peoples. Secondly, it maximizes the social and economic benefits from the construction and operation of the pipeline while at the same time minimizing any adverse effect on the social and environmental conditions of the areas most directly affected by the pipeline.

The NPA acts as a single window between federal authorities and the Foothills Group of Companies (now owned completely by TC Energy), and between provincial and territorial governments, and the Government of the United States. In keeping with the Northern Pipeline Act, many regulatory powers of other Government of Canada departments and agencies related to the pipeline project are delegated to the NPA. This is not the case for those powers reserved exclusively to the Canada Energy Regulator or shared between the Canada Energy Regulator and the NPA.

2. Organizational Structure

Access to information-related activities for the NPA, such as the processing of requests under the ATIA, are handled by Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Secretariat, as per the NRCan-NPA Service Letter of Agreement. There were 0.011 full-time equivalents dedicated to support the NPA’s access to information function during the reporting period.

Proactive Publication

Bill C-58, an act to amend the ATIA and the Privacy Act and to make consequential amendments to other acts, received royal assent and came into force on June 21, 2019. Bill C-58 modified the ATIA to include Part 2, adding a requirement for mandatory proactive publication of specific records produced by government institutions and Ministers’ offices. NRCan’s ATIP Secretariat plays a coordination and review function in relation to the proactive publication requirements. Collaboration between the ATIP Secretariat and the NPA ensures that the department’s legislative proactive publication requirements are met. Section 7 of this report provides more detail on roles and responsibilities to ensure that proactive publication requirements are met.

3. Delegation Order

See Annex A for current delegation order.

4. Performance 2023-2024

Multi-year trends 2021-2022 to 2023-2024

• Number of requests and complaints received, responded to, and completed within legislated timelines: From April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, the NPA received one request under the ATIA. This request was completed within legislative timelines, resulting in a 100% compliance rate. This is a change in the number of requests received as compared to the 2022-2023 reporting period where the NPA received zero requests under the ATIA. However, during the 2021-2022 reporting period, the NPA received 8 requests under the ATIA, all of which were completed within the legislative timelines, resulting in a 100% compliance rate. The NPA has received no complaints under the ATIA.
• Number of active requests/complaints outstanding from previous reporting period: No requests or complaints were carried over from past reporting periods.
• Consultations received and/or completed from other institutions: The NPA did not receive or complete any consultation requests from another institution between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024. In 2022-2023 and 2021-2022, the NPA did not receive or complete any consultation requests.
• Application of extensions: An extension of 30 days was taken for the one request received in 2023-2024, in order to complete necessary consultations.
• Requests for which records were “all disclosed” and “disclosed in part”: From April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, the only request received was completed as ‘’all disclosed’’. No requests were completed as ‘’disclosed in part’’.

5. Training and Awareness

There were no access to information training activities provided to or requested by NPA personnel in 2023-2024.

6. Policies, Guidelines, Procedures and Initiatives

Effective January 1, 2015, the NPA started to use the Open Government website to provide its monthly access to information summaries.

7. Proactive Publication under Part 2 of the ATIA

The NPA is a government entity, given that it is an institution that is listed in Schedule I.1 of the Financial Administration Act; for the purposes of Part 2 of the ATIA.

As noted above, the Minister Energy and Natural Resources is the Minister responsible for the management and control of the NPA, and the Deputy Minister Natural Resources is the Commissioner and Deputy Head of the NPA. To that end, the NPA is subject to sections 74 to 78, as well as sections 82 to 88 of the ATIA.

As noted above, the NPA has a Service Letter of Agreement with NRCan where internal services are provided by various departmental sectors. The NPA and each applicable NRCan sector lead receives or compiles with the required information subject to the proactive publication requirement. Prior to publishing, the information is reviewed through consultation with NPA and/or the NRCan ATIP Secretariat. Following review, the NPA or NRCan publishes the proactive publication requirement within the prescribed legislative timeline. The table below outlines key information related to the proactive publication process at the NPA:
