July 15 (Reuters) - The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER)

on Monday imposed a fine on Canadian Natural Resources Limited ( CNQ )

for violating section 155 of the Environmental

Protection and Enhancement Act.

CNRL has been ordered to pay C$278,000.

An investigation by the AER revealed that between May 21,

2022, and Aug. 4, 2022, CNRL failed to prevent a hazardous

substance containing bitumen from coming into contact with birds

and other wildlife, leading to bird deaths.
