Indigenous communities in Canada's oil sands region on Monday called for Alberta's energy regulator to be disbanded and replaced following a months-long toxic tailings seepage from Imperial Oil's Kearl oil sands mine.

In a March statement, Imperial said it deeply regretted not providing regular communications to communities after its initial update and would take necessary steps to improve communications in future."I think you need to scrap it and build it back. I don't think it's salvageable in its current form," Daniel Stuckless, director of the Fort McKay Métis Nation, told the committee.
"The regulator is constantly pulling the direction of the conversation in the interests of the regulated parties rather than the public interest," Clark said.

The trial will also test press freedom and put a spotlight on the flow of misinformation that helped spark the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
