Planning Highlights
The Agency will continue to prepare for Stage Two of the Project in Canada. Since the Act came into force, the external environment relevant to environmental and public considerations has changed. Some of the changes include new environmental legislation, and in the Yukon, devolution of some federal responsibilities and the settlement of most Aboriginal land claims along the pipeline route.
The Agency will advance regulatory processes which fully meet modern environmental and socio-economic standards and respect the rights of Aboriginal peoples. These processes will take into account the rights granted to Foothills under the Act, including the certificates and the Yukon easement. To carry out these responsibilities, the Agency will continue to work closely with relevant federal departments and agencies. It will also coordinate with other governments, Aboriginal communities, the U.S. and TCPL. Finally, the Agency will assess the adequacy of its technical, legal, administrative, and policy capacity that will help the agency to carry out planning and regulatory work as project activity increases.
