Calls for an Investigation by Alberta's Ethics Commissioner
Updates for The Gravity Well community
I am pleased to announce the second action taken by the Coalition For Responsible Energy (C4RE) and our partners. On June 22, 2025, “Ecojustice lawyers filed an investigation request with the Ethics Commissioner on behalf of Dwight Popowich, a landowner in Two Hills, Alberta. The submission requests an investigation of David Yager, Special Advisor to the Premier and Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) Board Member, for breaches of the Conflicts of Interest Act, and the Alberta Government’s Procurement of Sole-Sourcing Policy regarding his role as Chair in the creation of the province’s controversial Mature Asset Strategy.”
Listen to Dwight Popowich, a landowner in Two Hills, Alberta and chair of the Polluter Pay Federation explain and take action here:
