Volume 60 No. 05

Council is firm on plebiscite wording Kitimat council won’t be changing the wording of its April Enbridge Northern Gateway plebiscite, but first debated the issue and heard challenges from citizens. The issue arose at council’s regular January 20 meeting, building off a committee of the whole meeting January 13 to discuss what question council would put to voters regarding Northern Gateway. The proposed question set on January 13 was regarded by some council members and members of the public as being too wordy and complicated: “Do you support the final report recommendations of the Joint Review Panel (JRP) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and National Energy Board, that the Enbridge Northern Gateway project be approved, subject to 209 conditions set out in Volume 2 of the JRP’s final report?” Some councillors had wanted a simpler and shorter question, “Are you in favour of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, yes or no?” But that was defeated after being opposed by Mayor Joanne Monaghan and councillors Edwin Empinado, Mario Feldhoff and Mary Murphy. Voting in favour were councillors Phil Germuth, Rob Goffinet and Corinne Scott. An attempt to rescind the January 13 motion which set out the longer question was defeated by Monaghan, Empinado, Feldhoff and Murphy while Germuth, Goffinet and Scott were in favour. The majority of citizens who made presentations to council prior to its discussion on the plebiscite question felt the question was too long. One citizen, Glenn Stenson, said the question asked voters to approve of the federal review of Northern Gateway, adding he felt

Residents will be able to vote ‘yes’, ‘no’ or ‘undecided’. the review process was flawed. He wanted a shorter question, “Do you approve of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project?” A shorter and more direct question was also favoured by Sylvia DeSousa and David McRae. While council did debate the wording of the plebiscite, it was unanimous in defeating a suggestion to tack on questions. That idea arose at the January 13 meeting, resulting in Kitimat municipal officials crafting possible additional questions regarding resource development Northern Gateway. Those questions included issues such as marine safety and the possibility of an oil pipeline feeding a refinery in the Kitimat area. In the end, however, council members felt including those questions would detract from the central question of the Northern Gateway pipeline. The plebiscite is expected to cost in the neighbourhood of $15,000 and will be held April 12 with advance voting before that. Residents will be able to vote ‘yes’, ‘no’ or ‘undecided’. The plebiscite move follows a January 2012 resolution by council to seek the opinion of Kitimat residents once the federal review of Northern Gateway had finished. That review finished last year and the report was released in late December. It recommended the federal cabinet approve of the project subject to several hundred conditions.

LNG Canada’s future clouded Malcolm Baxter No final investment decision on the proposed LNG Canada project in Kitimat was due until next year. But recent developments suggest that date is going to be pushed back, likely significantly. The project is a partnership made up of Shell Canada, KOGAS of Korea, Mitsubishi of Japan and PetroChina. The liquefaction plant and terminal is to be built on the old Methanex site and produce 12 million tonnes of LNG a year. The problem lies in the financial performance of Shell the major partner at 40 per cent. The company issued an earnings warning on Friday, January 17 that its fourth quarter results would show a profit of $2.2 billion, less than a third of the $7.3 racked up in the same quarter in 2012. The numbers did not impress new CEO Ben van Beurden who said, “the group’s performance was not what I expect from Shell.” Three days later the company announced it was selling its stake in two Australian LNG

projects for just over $1.1 billion, both to the Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company. In making the sales, van Beurden explained the company was making “hard choices in our world-wide portfolio to improve Shell’s capital efficiency.” In the same vein, he said that while Shell would remain “a major player” in Australia, it was “refocusing our investment to where we can add the most value.” Although Shell has made no comment on what this might mean for the Kitimat project, industry analysts are connecting the dots and anticipate LNG Canada will be pushed to the back burner for now. The expectation is that Shell will retrench through a combination of the sale of more assets and a hard line on capital expenditures. None of this is good news for BC premier Christy Clark who boldly predicted before the last election that there would be one operational LNG plant in BC by 2015 and three by 2020.

The provincial government got even more ambitious in the budget it brought down last June which assumed at least three LNG plants operational by 2018. The 2015 number is already unachievable and, given the time it takes a project to go through the regulatory process and - once final approvement is given - to actually build the plant, there is no chance there will be three by 2018. However any significant delay on Canada LNG may actually be of benefit to Kitimat’s other LNG project, Kitimat LNG. That’s because if Shell does as the analysts expect and with the completion of the Rio Tinto Kitimat Modernisation project, Kitimat LNG would then become the only construction game in town and therefore would be able to avoid the huge cost overruns experienced in Australia. Shell will officially release its fourth quarter figures tomorrow at which time there may be more clarity on the company’s intentions as far as LNG Canada is concerned.

Haisla Nation files appeal ... page 5

Government fails without federal review changes By Shaun Thomas The number of suits coming from northwest First Nations shows a failure in the federal review process, said Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen. “The process used by the government has failed First Nations people and we won’t be able to move forward without changes to it ... this will only create uncertainty in the resource development sector,” he said during a Jan. 23 media call, noting the appeals are a necessary step. “These are going to be very expensive lawsuits, but First Nations have to stand

up for their rights and title, which have been proven time and time again ... ultimately I hope these will make the sys-

Nathan Cullen, MP

tem better so we won’t need to have suits like these in the future.” So far the Haisla of Kitamaat, Gitga’at of Hartley Bay and Gitxaala of Kitkatla have filed suits in the Federal Court of Appeal and Cullen said there are some similarities between what each group is saying. “In the Joint Review Panel report, the concerns of First Nations were not addressed at all ... First Nations don’t feel a true consultation process occurred and accommodation has not been made,” he said. “These come from very credible First Nations who

have been through legal challenges before. Their claims will be very hard to argue against in court.” Joining the First Nations are several environmental groups who Cullen said also have a valid claim. “They were specific about the Joint Review Panel not having all the environmental evidence needed,” he said. “The fact that bitumen will sink when mixed with sediment in salt water, which was demonstrated by a federal study is not something the panel would have known before issuing their report.”

Diluted bitumen can sink in conditions Tom Fletcher A new federal government study has found that diluted bitumen floats in sea water, except when it is mixed with some types of sediment, which can make it heavy enough to sink. The study used laboratory simulations of two common types of crude produced from the Alberta oilsands, and salt water tanks that approximated wave action. The behaviour of diluted bitumen in water was one of the key issues in the Northern Gateway pipeline hearings, which led to a recommendation in December that the twin

pipeline from northern Alberta to oil tanker port facilities should be allowed to proceed. The federal government has funded an ocean-based study of spilled bitumen as part of its shipping safety program, launched in the 2012 budget and now labelled the “World Class Initiative.” There are no studies or records of actual diluted bitumen spills at sea available. The laboratory study by Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources reached two major conclusions: “Like conven-

tional crude oil, both diluted bitumen products floated on saltwater (free of sediment) even after evaporation and exposure to light and mixing with water, “When fine sediments were suspended in the saltwater, high-energy wave action mixed the sediments with the diluted bitumen, causing the mixture to sink or be dispersed as floating tarballs.” The study also looked at the 2010 spill of diluted bitumen from an Enbridge pipeline rupture into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan, where the heavy oil was carried nearly 100 kilo-

metres downstream and between 10 and 20 per cent of it mixed with sediments and sank. While floating oil is easier to recover, a study commissioned by the B.C. government last year found that the existing oil spill response system for B.C.’s north coast would only be able to recover three to four per cent of it. NDP critics seized on the finding that diluted bitumen sinks when combined with sediment. “There is no longer any doubt that the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline poses an unacceptable risk to

Fluor

It was recently announced that the Fluor Corporation and their joint venture with JGC was awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract by Chevron Canada for the proposed Kitimat LNG project. Chevron explains that the contract means Fluor will be responsible for utilities and offsite facilities and JGC will be responsible for the liquefaction process facilities at the plant itself. Their scope will include completing the Front End Engineering and Design study (FEED), as well as project execution plans and costs and schedules for next phases of the proposed construction. Chevron says it’s a milestone towards a final investment decision. President of Fluor’s Energy and Chemicals Group Peter Oosterveer, said “Kitimat has the potential to become Canada’s first major LNG production and export terminal. Our strategic relationship with JGC was a key to winning this project and is certainly proving to be a differentiator in our markets.” Among the things still needed for Chevron include a competitive fiscal framework from the B.C. government.

Councillors debate where to put $15,000 for Mt. Co-Op Cameron Orr As councillors were asked whether to approve another $15,000 grant to the My Mountain Co-Op for Shames Mountain’s ski hill, Phil Germuth had another idea. Instead of moving to grant the $15,000, he suggested the council hold that money aside, and instead have staff bring a report back on the feasibility of using that money to instead provide a bus for Kitimat residents to the ski hill. “In the spirit of continuing to support

this regional asset, I feel this is a way we can have a real benefit to both the My Mountain Co-Op and to the people of Kitimat whose taxpayer money we’ve been using to help benefit this area,” he said. He said preliminary talks with a local bus operator shows that a 48 person bus would cost approximately $1,000 a day. That would mean the District could fun 15 days worth of transportation. But giving people access to the ski hill could potentially

generate $18,000 of revenue for the ski hill, he argued. “Of course that’s just getting them up there, for the lift ticket,” he said, saying money would be raised through rentals and food and other items. “I think this is something we could at least look at for the future ski season,” he said. Corinne Scott supported the motion, saying the ski hill benefits everyone in the region and believing such a program would continue to provide a benefit

Basics in economics means time makes money Dear Sir, 2013 Assessment increased 46 percent and the taxes increased by 48 percent. 2014 Assessment oncreased 23 percent and the taxes increased ? percent. 2013 Pension increased $7.91/ mo and dollar decreased 8 percent. Of course when I complained last year I got the typical answer: Your type of house sold for $200,000 and if you would have sold yours, you would have made a nice profit. How can you argue with that, after all, I bought it 45 years ago for $19,000. Now, if I would be his age I would consider selling it, however, that means I would have to move and at the age of 82, I might have trouble getting past the cemetery. I am so pleased that someone made a profit and let me pay the taxes. By the way, I have been contributing to our municipal assests for 60 years without complaining. In fact, I went to one of the early Council Meetings in the Nechako basement. The topic was, “Should we borrow $60,000 to pave Kingfisher.” My

suggestion was, Why don’t we collect the taxes for a year first and then pave it. Then we don’t have to borrow. The answer I got, “That’s not how we do business.” How can my Grandmother, who raised me for 14 years, have been so wrong when she made me believe, “If you can’t afford it, you don’t buy it.” Some years later I took a course in Economics; that was before we had electronic calculators, we had slide rules. On the back of the slide rule I had some formulas that proved that time makes money, that is if you had some money to start with. The formula missing is the one which proves that time also depreciates money. For example, the only house I could buy for $19k nowadays might be an outhouse. With the present economic activities in Kitimat and future prospects on the horizon one expects an improvement in the standard of living. However, that seems to exclude us pensioners. Sincerely, Rolf Leibach

back to the co-op. Mary Murphy meanwhile said it might be premature, since the co-op members were already looking into the feasibility of a bus service from the Rio Tinto Alcan workers camp on Sundays to bring workers to the mountain. “I think they’re

looking for $15,000 not for us to tell them how to spend it but for them to have those funds to spend in order to get their operations going,” she said. Mario Feldhoff was also opposed. “It just keeps coming back over and over and over again that

people for one reason or another don’t like the idea of My Mountain Co-Op,” he said. “Our contribution of $15,000 is a small contribution for the benefits of all citizens of Kitimat.” The motion passed, with Feldhoff, Murphy and Goffinet opposed.

Kitimat clearance It’s no secret Kitimat is getting to be an expensive place. Vacancy and housing shortages, upping demand, upping prices, making life hard for some people. But now it’s becoming even more clear that retail and commercial space is becoming almost as sparse as residential. Several issues ago we wrote about the Kitimat Food Bank which was given an eviction notice from the City Centre Mall. That set off a long process to figure out what to do next. The trouble is that despite the service being priceless to a community, it doesn’t come without cost. Rents had gone much higher than when they first set up shop in their location, and the non-profit was left with possible high bills if they had to move again. If the Food Bank had to close down, at least temporarily, that’s another blow to the low-income residents of our community. Then the same group was dealt another blow when the Salvation Army’s thrift store — the store that occupies the space in the covered walkway outside the mall — announced they’d be closing. Their signs note they’d be shutting their doors on January 25. Admittedly that does leave the What’s in Store up the hill at Nechako Centre to serve the town. But there is something to be said for a store so centralized in town, right at City Centre. It’s worrisome that with everything happening in Kitimat, all these good things, there’s this reality that people who are in need or are low income are losing their own sense of place. The real trouble I worry is that we’ll continue to see a transition of people away from the town, for a ‘boom’ that is only, really, temporary. (I think we can definitely come out of this a stronger town, but obviously the huge surge of people for the proposed construction won’t last forever.) So what’s the outcome? Could we end up a town that has no service for low-income, but is meanwhile contracting from a decade of construction? This is all a planning question, of course. The councils to follow and the town staff I’m sure will do what they can to figure this out. But it’s hard, even for this eternal optimist, to not be concerned with or at least hope for a community that comes out as inclusive on the other end as it is on this side. I don’t suspect we’ll be losing our food bank, at least permanently if it does disappear for a short while, but we’re definitely losing the Salvation Army connection and it doesn’t sound like that’s coming back. Lets not lose our way on our way forward.

LNG messages confusing and contradictory I don’t know about you, but as I try to keep up with the ins and outs of the new energy initiatives that appear to be driving the “action” in Kitimat these days, frankly, I find the information flow at the least rampantly confusing. Why? Because one mainly has to rely on interpreting the many mixed media reports on what’s happening -- and they are more than confusing, often they are quite contradictory. I don’t want to dwell on Northern Gateway oil pipeline, or even David Black’s refinery prosal that would generate 2-3,000 jobs in the area. The incoming material is just too voluminous - but totally diverse, divisive and worse than just contradictory. It has become almost unbelievable. ...and then there’s Neil Young! I’d like instead to concentrate on a couple of the major LNG projects for Kitimat, the one being driven by Chevron, Apache and partners - under the name Kitimat LNG and the other by Shell. I’ll look at portions of some recent reports and if you can make any more sense out of them than I can, good for you ... A step forward, maybe? This announcement from Texas: “Fluor Corporation announced today that its

joint venture with JGC was awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by Chevron Canada Limited for the proposed Kitimat (LNG) project in Bish Cove, British Columbia, Canada. Chevron and Apache Canada Limited (Apache) each hold a 50 percent interest in the proposed project. “We are excited to enter into the next phase of supporting the Kitimat LNG project for Chevron and their partner Apache,” said Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals Group. “Kitimat has the potential to become Canada’s first major LNG production and export terminal.

The scope of work also includes detailed engineering and pro-

curement services for the initial phases of the project.” Gobbledygook, but that’s how they put it... But, a step backward, and the natives remain restless says this business story from the Toronto Globe and Mail: “The Gitga’at First Nation in northwestern British Columbia says it is upset that backers of a proposed liquefied natural gas project neglected to keep native leaders informed on a decision to award an engineering contract to a joint venture from the United States and Japan. Kitimat LNG – owned by the Canadian units of Chevron Corp. of San Ramon, Calif., and Houston-based Apache Corp. – is considered by industry experts to be one of the front-runners in the race to build B.C. export terminals to ship LNG to energy-thirsty customers in Asia.” (My emphasis!) Commenting on the Fluor Corp./ JGC Corp. announcement on the Kitimat LNG project, Arnold Clifton, chief councillor of the Gitga’at First Nation, said consultation is a legal requirement and not merely a courtesy to recognize traditional fishing grounds and other issues. “We are disappointed that Chevron Continued on page 15

Haisla Nation files appeal Silly season has begun By Shaun Thomas The Haisla Nation is heading to court in an effort to block approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. The claim by the Haisla was filed in the Federal Court of Appeal on Jan. 17 and takes aim at the Joint Review Panel (JRP) recommendation to approve the project following substantial opposition from the region. And the Haisla are not alone in taking their case to the courts. Both the Gitga’at Nation of Hartley Bay, located at the mouth of the Douglas Channel, and the Gitxaala Nation of Kitkatla north of Prince Rupert have filed similar suits. For Hartley Bay Chief Councillor Arnold Clifton, the increase of tanker traffic through the Douglas Channel is simply unacceptable. Clifton said the panel completely

failed to take into account evidence showing the tankers would threaten Gitga’at society, culture, identity, health and economy as areas at risk in the event of any potential spill “The JRP came to our community and we bared our souls to them. We gave testimony and shared an important feast with them to demonstrate our connection with our territory through food. Clearly they didn’t listen to us. It’s like they were never here,” he said. “Today we’re fighting an unlawful environmental assessment and review process that failed to meet its constitutional obligations to First Nations. We owe it to our children to defend our rights, our coastal communities and our way of life from the dangers of oil tanker traffic.” Enbridge Northern Gate-

Dear Sir, Happy New Year everyone. Hard to believe it’s January and we have green grass! Kudos to the District for the street and trees decorated and to all the property owners who put up lights and decorations on their lawns and homes to help celebrate the Christmas Season. We should feel quite privileged to not have all that “global warming” that they are having in the prairies and eastern Canada. Next time the environmentalists start complaining about global warming they should pack their bags and take a trip back east to enjoy it. Well, as you are all aware, the “Silly Season” will be starting soon. A few politicians never stopped expounding on their great accomplishments – some of which never happened – and it will be getting worse as this November will be here before we know it. Listen and watch carefully as whoever gets in will be there for three long years. Now on to the present. I cannot believe anyone would be happy with spending about $15,000.00 of our tax money on a plebiscite that they would have absolutely no influence on the final decision. If council wanted to spend money and influence the recommendations of the JRP they could have made presentations about the communities ligitimate concerns and still remained neutral. All those against Enbridge will be out to vote ‘NO’ and all those for will not be voting – that’s the nature of the beast. So the outcome will still not really give anyone the correct answer. I wonder if all those

way spokesperson Ivan Giesbrecht said the company was not surprised by the filings, noting appeals are part of the process. He maintains that the JRP report and process were extensive and accurate. “The Joint Review process was based on sound science and evidence and was the most thorough and comprehensive proceeding in Canadian history. Northern Gateway’s submission to the JRP was the most comprehensive application ever submitted: 30,000 pages, 180 days of hearings, and 80 expert witnesses including some of the foremost scientists and engineers in their fields,” he said, noting he doesn’t expect these suits will delay the approval time line. “Northern Gateway is confident in the integrity of the Joint Review Panel process and report.”

Council question one more time Dear Sir, On January 21, 2014, Kitimat's Mayor and Council deliberated on what question should be on the upcoming plebiscite regarding Enbridge's Northern Gateway dual pipeline and supertanker port proposal. Councillors Scott, Germuth, and Goffinet wanted a question like, "Are you in favour of the Enbridge Northern Gateway project"? Councillors Feldhoff, Murphy, and Empinado wanted it to be, "Do you support the final report recommendations of the Joint Review Panel of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the National Energy Board, that the Enbridge

Northern Gateway project be approved subject to 209 conditions set out in Volume 2 of the JRP’s final report?" Mayor Monaghan, holding the deciding vote, voted for the second, longer question. The first question is short, concise, understandable by all, and would give a clear indication of where the people of Kitimat stand on this issue. Why would Mayor Monaghan and Councillors Murphy, Feldhoff, and Empinado choose the second, more complicated question? I believe they are tying the plebiscite question to the JRP report, instead of the project itself, because they are plan Continued on page 6

Wealth sharing is the key Dear Sir, The other day I watched the news from Kamloops, BC and there was a Provincial “Debt Clock” indicator showing 60+ billions and ticking away...I am sure it is quite a bit more. Shocking! Add to this a continuous opposition of various kind to any/all the major projects (oil-gas-mining-Site C, that are by now 10-20 years too late), that does not, in my opinion, take in to consideration/consult 160,000 hungry children (recent report on CBC), poor, elderly, unemployed, where 20 percent 16-25 years of age are unemployable being not sufficiently educated and/or qualified (CBC in 2013), housing shortage, cost of living, land claims, health care, education, road, bridges, transportation, grants, welfare and the list goes on. Wow. Who and how will we pay for all this and when if - no projects no jobs no taxes are there? Government itself indicated that most of the projects will be on the line in 10 years from now. What between now and then? 100 billion debt. There will not be much left to tax.

There is a small country in Western Europe by the name of Norway, 1/3 of BC and almost the same population and landscape. For the most part since WWII it had/has Coalition Governments of Left or Right. They have been quietly pumping oil found in North Atlantic - with all parties working together - for the past 40 years. They created “Ten Oil Commandments” by which they regulate their oil success. Perhaps one of the best policies on the subject in the world. They have approved over 40 more exploration permits. All major players participating. They believe that oil is a temporary windfall to them, therefore they have created a huge “oil pension fund” of one trillion dollars for the future rainy days, paid by oil income. Unemployment is at three percent or less, average salary $6000.00 plus. All social issues have high priority. Yes, it is easy when you can afford it. The real secret to their success is in changing socialist policy from Wealth Redistribution to Wealth Creation and Sharing. Continued on page 6

Reader’s Write

‘FOR’ had stood before council and wanted to vote, would have had their way. As usual, with anything, those people who are against anything, no matter what the project, scream the loudest. Do you read Facebook and online papers? It’s all the usual naysayers who take up most of the space. To change the wording - no matter what the plebiscite says - the same people will vote ‘no’ and the others ‘yes’. To me it’s a lose-lose battle. These are my opinions. There is good and bad in everything we do in life and no matter what happens someone will not be happy. The last council meeting, January 20, looked more like an early thing for “Vote For Me” meeting. I guess we all just have to “suck it up” for the next ten months as the grandstanding has just begun. Well folks, these are my opinions and obviously I may be alone but as we have a democratic lifestyle, I’m making use of it - as do those on Facebook, online newspapers, tweets etc... Bill Cosby once said, “I don’t know the secret to success but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.” Happy Early Spring! Keep smiling, I’m watching and listening, Roma Burnett

Professional pollster weighs in on plebiscite A professional pollster says setting a question for Kitimat’s plebiscite on the Northern Gateway proposal is a challenging task. Mario Canseco is the vice president of public affairs for Insights West. That is the same company which released results of a poll last November, which showed growth in people showing support for the pipeline. He remarked Kitimat’s wording for its question was a handful, and it reminded him of the Quebec referendums in the 1980s and 1995.

“The way that question was worded, if I recall correctly, it had something to do with Quebec will have its own rights and its own things, and it was just a handful of things. It was too complex,” he said. “This one [Kitimat’s question] is kind of trying to get the best of both worlds,” he added. He said that ultimately anyone setting a question will want to have something that’s fairly simple to understand, and the question should be clear if anyone is seeking a yes or no answer.

“The problem here is you’re voting, in essence, to get a sense of whether people support the project, even though the project has not been explained fully, even though we still have to deal with the conditions from B.C....it’s almost like a poll,” he said. “It’s not as simple as a referendum where you have a choice of yes or no, like the HST, even though their question was horrendously worded. You knew there was going to be some decision based on what happened.” Canseco adds, “To have a question with so

many nuances, it might make it confusing.” To the HST referendum’s credit, though, he said it was good that informational packages were sent out before hand to voters. “Ultimately, whenever you have a referendum of this nature...you offer the two warring sides, so to speak, the opportunity to say ‘this is why you should vote yes’ or ‘this is why we think you should vote no.’ By having all of that information in the same question, it could be confusing.” He said it shouldn’t fall on to the council

to explain everything, especially to protect against possible bias. “Even if you’re incredibly careful with the things you’re saying, there’s the opportunity for somebody to look at something and say ‘well this guy is in favour of it,’...” “Stepping away from it is very difficult,” he said. The question being put to voters in April is, “Do you support the final report recommendations of the Joint Review Panel (JRP) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and National Energy Board, that

Terrace Chamber to survey its members on Gateway Josh Massey Terrace will soon know what its business community thinks of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project. The Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce is conducting a survey to see if its members support the plan to build a twin 1,170 kilometre pipeline to ship Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat. A list of questions is currently being drafted to send to the chamber’s 246 members, many of whom are local business owners. The survey is in line with a plan adopted by the chamber two years ago. In February 2012, just after Terrace city council voted to oppose Northern Gateway, the chamber executive released a letter saying that while it took a neutral

stance to the pipeline project until the review panel had released its report, it did welcome new industry to the area. The chamber board also wrote a letter to Enbridge saying it would maintain a neutral stance on the project until a decision was reached by the federal joint review panel charged with heading the public consultation segment of the environmental assessment. The joint review panel in December recommended to the federal government that it approve Northern Gateway as long as it could meet 209 conditions. The chamber plans to release the survey to its members by early February, according to executive director Carol Fielding. Fielding thinks chamber members are divided over whether to support the

Question Continued from page 5 ning two steps ahead. Prime Minister Harper will, undoubtedly, make a dramatic show of taking the JRP recommendations and making them even 'stronger', more 'robust', 'world leading', 'safer', with more 'revenue sharing' and 'benefits' in a last ditch effort to gain social license in British Columbia. This is when Mayor Monaghan and Councillors Murphy, Feldhoff, and Enpinado could change the District of Kitimat's neutral status to 100% support without flipflopping on the plebiscite, which Mayor Monaghan has promised to uphold whichever way the vote goes. This is all guess work on my part, but what I do know is that

tying the plebiscite to the JRP recommendations was a bad idea. Why? If you vote yes to the plebiscite question as it now stands, you will be agreeing with recommendation #26 which allows temporary foreign workers to build the pipelines, not Canadians as has been promised all along. If you vote yes, you would also be agreeing with Section 1.1 which states, "A primary purpose of the project would be to provide access for Canadian oil to international markets..." which means this is an export only project for unrefined bitumen without any hope of value added projects of any kind. Think raw log exports, Tar Sands style.

By manipulating the plebiscite question, Mayor Monaghan and Councillors Feldhoff, Murphy, and Enpinado have painted themselves into a very awkward, and politically uncomfortable corner. Maybe they should trust the democratic process and represent the wishes of their constituents, as Councillors Goffinet, Scott, and Germuth are willing to do. Sincerely, Murray Minchin

controversial Enbridge project. She noted that a presentation from Enbridge vice president Janet Holder before the December 19 release of the federal review panel decision was followed by one of the largest discussions in the history of such chamber luncheons that included many critical questions posed to Holder. The chamber board’s 2012 decision had followed Terrace city council’s resolution to oppose the project getting passed with a 5 to 2 vote in February of 2012. The open letter, addressed to Northern Gateway and other investors, said that, as the “voice of business” the chamber was “very concerned with the latest position of our city council.”

the Enbridge Northern Gateway project be approved, subject to 209 conditions set out in Volume 2 of the JRP’s final report?

“ The Joint Review Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward building a better pipeline.”

My name is Janet Holder and I am the leader of the Northern Gateway Project. This past December, my team came one step closer towards our goal of building a better pipeline. After weighing the evidence in the most comprehensive, scientific review in Canadian pipeline history, the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency provided its recommendation.

From the beginning, Northern Gateway has committed to building a safer and better pipeline. The Panel’s conditions are an important step towards that goal. They reflect the input of thousands of British Columbians and Canadians, and include many of the commitments we made in our submission. But our work is far from done. As a proud British Columbian, I assure you that my team will continue to work hard towards meeting all of the final conditions set out by the Joint Review Panel, just as we’re working hard to meet the Province’s tough conditions. Building a better pipeline isn’t easy. It takes hard work and complete dedication to meeting the highest standards possible. The Joint Review Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward building a better pipeline.

Sincerely,

Janet Holder Leader of Northern Gateway

The Panel concluded that Canada and Canadians would be better off with the Northern Gateway Project than without it. They also provided 209 conditions we must meet before we build the project or before we start operations.

Confusing Continued from page 4 feels it can move forward with engineering, procurement and construction at a time when it has failed to consult meaningfully with our First Nation,” Mr. Clifton said last Tuesday. “Chevron says that this is the most advanced of the proposed LNG projects in British Columbia but that is simply not the case when it comes to consulting with Gitga’at.” O.K. - here we go again ... Now, over to Shell, this news story just last week:. “Calgary - Royal Dutch Shell PLC could delay plans to build a liquefied natural gas terminal on Canada’s West Coast as the company’s new boss reins in spending on major projects, dealing a blow to British Columbia’s export ambitions. Industry sources say the European oil major has been trying to sell some of its B.C. natural gas holdings and may postpone a decision to go ahead with the export project as new chief executive Ben van Beurden ushers in a tighter spending regime at The Hague-based company. However, just over a year ago, in the Globe: Royal Dutch Shell’s decision to invest $1 billion a year in shale gas exploration in China has not changed Shell Canada’s plans to build a liquefied natural gas terminal at Kitimat aimed at the Chinese market. One step back, one step forward, not sure of the order... Despite China’s potential for shale gas production, demand there is expected to outstrip supply, Shell Canada said Tuesday in a statement. “The exploration and development of shale gas is expected to grow in China and Shell’s investments, largely with PetroChina, are reflective of that growth,” Shell Canada spokesman Stephen Doolan said.

“However, the demand for energy in China and throughout Asia is expected to exceed domestic production. “This demand for energy, coupled with the wider demand for LNG

in Asia which is likely to grow by more than 80 million tonnes per annum between now and 2020, underscores Shell’s intent to continue to progress the LNG Canada project.”

Maybe the B.C. government can help. Victoria - Premier Christy Clark says her government is paying close attention to the potential air and water pollution impacts

of proposed liquefied natural gas projects in northwest British Columbia, but environmental groups say the Liberals are tacitly endorsing projects that will contribute to

health and environmental problems in the Kitimat area. “We are paying close attention to the total greenhouse gas emissions, the total particulate emissions,”

said Clark. “The impact on water, on all of those legitimate concerns that people have. We intend to have the cleanest LNG facilities in the world. I think we can get there.”

Sports & Leisure

The next generation female hockey players Anna Killen The seeds have been planted for the next crop of northwest female hockey players, with the novice/atom

girls team already taking shape and looking to grow together over the next half decade. Coach Brad Andersen’s team of nine-

and 10-year-olds is made up of players from Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and the potential is there to have them rival, or

maybe even surpass, the success of longtime coach Mario Desjardins’ team of girls who made history last year as bantams, win-

ning provincial tournaments all season and dominating championship games. “These girls coming up... they’re all really even in talent,” said Andersen of his team, noting that it’s an added benefit that

they’re already playing together at such a young age. Late last year the team faced off against a Peewee team from Hazelton in Terrace. “I put the team together that I think should be the team for

A Star is Born!

the next four or five years,” said Andersen, of that game’s roster. And the team performed outstandingly, winning 12-2 and showcasing strong skating skills. “It was pretty impressive,” he said.
