1. Introduction

This annual report describes how the Northern Pipeline Agency (NPA) met its responsibilities in administering the Access to Information Act during fiscal year 2024-2025.

The Access to Information Act

The Access to Information Act (ATIA) came into force on July 1, 1983 and further amended on June 21, 2019. The purpose of the ATIA is to enhance the accountability and transparency of federal institutions to promote an open and democratic society and to enable public debate on the conduct of those institutions.

Part 1 of the ATIA extends the present laws of Canada to provide a right of access to information in records under the control of a government institution in accordance with the principles that government information should be available to the public, that necessary exceptions to the right of access should be limited and specific, and that decisions about the disclosure of government information should be reviewed independently of government.

Part 2 of the ATIA sets out requirements for the proactive publication of information.

This report is prepared and tabled in accordance with section 20 of the Service Fees Act and section 94 of the ATIA, which requires that the head of every federal institution prepare and submit an annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Act in the institution during the fiscal year. It covers the period from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.

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 and Deputy Head 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 project proponent, the Foothills Group of Companies, 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 0.012 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 information on the current delegation order.

In this reporting period, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources was re-designated as head of the NPA pursuant to the Access to Information Act Heads of Government Institutions Designation Order (Order in Council P.C. 2024-1276) that was signed by Her Excellency the Governor General on November 29, 2024. This remedied a previously identified administrative oversight.

4. Performance 2024-2025

Multi-year trends 2022-2023 to 2024-2025

• Number of requests received, responded to, and completed within legislated timelines: From April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, the NPA did not receive any requests under the ATIA. This is a minor change in the number of requests received as compared to the 2023-2024 reporting period where the NPA received one request under the ATIA. During the 2022-2023 reporting period, the NPA received zero requests under the ATIA. No requests were carried over from past reporting periods.
• Informal Requests: During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, the NPA received four informal requests under the ATIA. This represents an increase from previous years where the NPA received zero informal requests in both 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 fiscal years.
• Number of complaints received, responded to, and completed: From April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, the NPA did not receive any complaints. No complaints were received in 2022-2023 or 2023-2024, and no complaints were carried over from subsequent years.
• Consultations received and/or completed from other institutions: The NPA did not receive or complete any consultation requests from another institution between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025. In 2022-2023, the NPA did receive one consultation, and 2023-2024, the NPA did not receive or complete any consultation requests.
• Application of extensions: As no requests were received during the reporting period; no extensions were required or taken during 2024-2025 reporting period.
• Requests for which records were “all disclosed” and “disclosed in part”: As no requests were received during the reporting period and no requests open from the previous year, there is nothing to report with respect to requests completed as ‘all disclosed’ or ‘disclosed in part’.

For additional detailed statistical information, see Annex B for a copy of the 2024-2025 NPA Statistical Report.

2024-2025 Supplemental Statistical Report on the ATIA:

During the 2024-2025 reporting period, NPA operations were not impacted at any time and ATIP requests were able to be processed.

For more information, see Annex C for a copy of the 2024-2025 NPA Supplemental Statistical Report.

5. Training and Awareness

There was no access to information training activities provided to or requested by NPA personnel in 2024-2025.

6. Policies, Guidelines, Procedures and Initiatives

Effective January 1, 2015, the NPA began to use the Open Government website to provide its monthly access to information summaries. The NPA relies on NRCan’s ATIP Secretariat to undertake and/or lead any new policies, guidelines, procedures and initiatives.

7. Initiatives and Projects to Improve Access to Information

As noted above, access to information-related activities for the NPA, such as initiatives and projects to improve access to information under the ATIA, are handled by NRCan’s ATIP Secretariat, as per the Service Letter of Agreement. The NPA did not seek or receive recommendations regarding initiatives and projects in 2024-2025.

8. Summary of Key Issues and Actions Taken on Complaints

There were no complaints or investigations initiated during this period or carried forward from the previous reporting period.

9. Proactive Publication under Part 2 of the ATIA

For the purposes of 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. 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:
