During its second term – which concluded at the end of 2025 – the AMC continued to offer early input on the Rules of Practice and Procedure, Practice Directions, Filing Requirements, procedural practices (including those overseen by the Registrar), and other matters supporting continuous improvement of the OEB’s adjudicative function. Term 2 reinforced the AMC’s role as a key element of the OEB’s Stakeholder Engagement Framework.

The AMC will continue providing early advice on adjudicative practices, regulatory guidance, and procedural approaches that strengthen the effectiveness, efficiency and transparency of OEB proceedings.
