Richard Roberts chaired a highly controversial public hearing process for Alberta Energy and Natural Resources. The hearing process centered on an Integrated Resource Management Plan (IRMP) for the Castle River area of southwestern Alberta. Public meetings were held in Pincher Creek, Lethbridge and Blairmore, Alberta. The process also coordinated a panel, representing eight departments of the provincial government. The result was approval of the sub-regional IRMP.
