The week of January 6 is scheduled as the last week of the CEC hearings regarding the Keeyask Genertion project, which included a three week extension. The final week includes some cross examination of returning experts, presentation of the answers to the set of 55 CEC questions, further questions from the CEC panel, and then closing arguments from the proponent, and the participants. Thursday, January 9 is the final day of the hearings.

The CEC will issue its recommendations regarding licensing in its report, due 120 days after the end of their Keeyask hearings. In the meantime the Public Utilities Board hearings regarding Manitoba Hydro's development plan start in March 2014. The CEC will be starting its mandated review of Lake Winnipeg Regulation in early 2014 also.
