A TransCanada whistleblower who recently told the National Observer he was concerned about the effectiveness of the National Energy Board (NEB) received a threatening letter from an NEB staff member. The whistleblower was dissatisfied with certain NEB staff and complained, to his knowledge confidentially, to a professional engineering association in February. In April, he received a letter urging him to withdraw his complaint. The letter reads, “We act as counsel for [name redacted]. We are advised that he has been named on a complaint that you have filed with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) on February 26, 2015, alleging acts of negligence and conduct unbecoming of a professional engineer….We suggest that prompt withdrawal of your complaint against [name redacted] would be the soundest way to avoid such exposure.”
