Government-owned utilities are generally thought to act in the “public interest”, in contrast to the more profit-oriented privately-owned utilities. If this is the case, then why is regulation of government-owned utilities required at all? Should there be a different approach to the regulation of government-owned utilities? In practice, how different are they from privately-owned utilities? Should there be any concerns surrounding potential conflict of interest where the government typically appoints the regulators? Should government-owned utilities be permitted to participate in competitive markets, and if so on what terms? This session will explore these challenging issues.

Imperial 5/7/9 & Corridor PROGRAM Session 8b: Administrative agencies perform many functions within Canada’s parliamentary Imperial 1/2/3/4/6/8 Room democracy. Many of these functions could be, and are, performed within more conventional government structures. For example, across Canada, regulation of the oil and gas industry is performed both within government departments and by independent regulatory commissions or boards. The decision to take oil and gas regulation out of the more traditional branches of government may be driven by the complexity and diversity of roles assigned to administrative agencies and their ability to independently carry out a combination of roles that government departments cannot. This session will explore the reasons for creating independent agencies and the advantages and disadvantages of having agencies or government perform the regulatory role.
