Video Stories - Carmen Dybwad - Transcript

Hi. On the occasion of the National Energy Board's 50^th anniversary, I've been asked to talk a little bit about what I felt to be the most memorable experience while I was there. I think it would have to be the fact that during the seven years that I was a Board Member, the Board went out of its way to make its processes more accessible and more widely understood by a wide number of participants, regular Canadians, who then could have a more involved say in decisions that were going to affect them and I think that that's the heart and soul of democracy and it's the heart and soul of any sort of democratic process. So the fact that the Board did that while I was there, I'm pretty proud of that in the same way that I'm really proud of the people that I served with. I think Canadians really are unaware and probably underestimate the quality of the folks that are making decisions in their public interest and they shouldn't be; they should be very proud of those folks, just as I am to have served with them.
