Commission Watch

A conversation with Sr. Economist Leon Cheung, Sr. Regulatory Specialist Laurel Ross, Acting Commission Secretary Marija Tresoglavic, Sr. Compliance Analyst Katharine Friesen, Sr. Regulatory Analyst Phil Stallard, and Manager of Energy Supply, Compliance and MRS Ian Homer.

“Our team members are participating in events and conferences to help bring awareness to our work, and as a result, we are building greater brand recognition.”

A conversation with Executive Director of Corporate Services Viki Vourlis Fisher, Manager of Human Resources and Procurement Administrator Sheena Zyp, and Sr. Systems Architect, IT Luke Thompson.

“We’re dealing with issues that can impact availability and reliability of energy such as environmental attributes like wildfires, emergency preparedness, resiliency, cybersecurity, and safety.”

A conversation with Deputy Chair Anna Fung and Commissioners Carolann Brewer, Blair Lockhart, Karen Keilty and Bernard Magnan.

“We have eleven Commissioners, five of which are full time.”

The Commission is mostly still working from home, and under Chair and CEO Dave Morton, now under a matrix work environment.

The General Counsel has to feel comfortable in that they have to tell the Commissioner sometimes bad news or what the law is in certain areas.

Staff is critically important, because Commissioners have to decide on a number of issues spanning all of the utilities, and Staff can be specialized and concentrate.

The teleconference system’s a priority that’s got a lot of potential, especially with our audio video system that they built into our main hearing room.
