And please allow me 12 to introduce my colleagues. 13 On my left is Dr. David Levy, and on 14 my right is Dr. Douw Steyn. 15 Also with us today are members of the 16 secretariat, Cindy Parker, who is the Panel manager. 17 And we have three analysts with us, Samantha Sabo, 18 Tracy Utting and Kate Witherly. 19 Gavin Fitch is our legal counsel. In 20 addition is our court reporter, Kristin Johansson, and 21 audio-visual technicians from Freeman Company. 22 The staff will be glad to assist you 23 with any problems or questions you may have. 24 The purpose of the hearing is to allow 25 the Panel to receive information from participants on 613-521-0703 StenoTran www.stenotran.com 4431 1 the potential environmental effects and cumulative 2 effects resulting from the proponent's proposal to 3 construct a new terminal. The hearing is also 4 designed to provide opportunities for the Vancouver 5 Fraser Port Authority to explain the project and to 6 respond to concerns and questions raised by 7 participants, including federal, provincial, regional 8 and local governments, indigenous groups, 9 non-governmental and civic organizations, and the 10 general public. 11 We are an independent Panel. We are 12 not part of the Government of Canada, the Government 13 of British Columbia or the Canadian Environmental 14 Assessment Agency. 15 Our Terms of reference were updated in 16 March 2019 to include marine shipping activities 17 associated with the project as part of the definition 18 of a designated project. From the beginnings of our 19 mandate, the Panel has included marine shipping 20 associated with the project in its assessment. 21 The recent update to our Terms of 22 Reference means that the Minister can now consider the 23 Panel’s conclusions and recommendations regarding 24 marine shipping in her environmental assessment 25 decision and related conditions to the proponent. 613-521-0703 StenoTran www.stenotran.com 4432 1 So the transcripts. There’s a 2 transcript for our proceedings, and they’re being 3 produced by our court reporter. And for that reason, 4 it is essential that participants use the microphone 5 when speaking. 6 Transcripts of the proceedings will 7 generally be available on the registry the next day. 8 And when you do speak, we ask you that you identify 9 yourselves so your name is on the record and you spell 10 your last name for the court reporter the first time 11 you speak. 12 If more than one person are presenting 13 at the table at the same time, there’s a need to 14 identify yourself each time you speak. 15 I’d like to remind you that you direct 16 your questions or comments to me as the Panel Chair 17 and I will then direct them to the appropriate person 18 or group for a response. 19 The hearing sessions are audio webcast 20 and can be accessed through the website of the 21 Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. 22 As a courtesy to everyone I would like 23 you to silence your cell phones, please. 24 And in case of an emergency, you are 25 asked to leave the building immediately through the 613-521-0703 StenoTran www.stenotran.com 4433 1 closest exit. And the muster station in case of an 2 evacuation of the building is at the front of the 3 hotel. 4 If at any time you have any cause for 5 concern, please advise immediately a member of the 6 secretariat. 7 Thank you for your attention. 8 So now we are going to start the 9 hearing. And I would like to invite the 10 representatives of the Esquimalt Nation, please. 11 Good morning, and welcome. And you 12 can go ahead when you are ready, please. 13 PRESENTATION 14 COUNCILLOR THOMAS: It’s on? Yeah. 15 Good morning. My name is Robert 16 Thomas. I’m lead Councilor for Esquimalt Nation. 17 First of all, I'd like to thank you 18 and welcome you to the traditional territory of the 19 Lekwungen people, which is the Esquimalt and Songees 20 Nation. 21 The Esquimalt Nation is a small 22 Nation, approximately 300 members. On the water of 23 Esquimalt Harbour our traditional name is Kosapsum. 24 Our connection with the land and the 25 resources of the large territory goes back thousands 613-521-0703 StenoTran www.stenotran.com 4434 1 of years. In that time, we have learned to live in a 2 finely-balanced relationship with the seasons, the 3 tides and the seasons of our lives that have sustained 4 us. 5 And we repaid the land through 6 commitment and stewardship and through our ceremonies. 7 I understand this obligation as a sacred trust. 8 The Esquimalt Nation was one of 14 9 Nations that signed a treaty with Governor James 10 Douglas over 150 years ago. The treaty granted the 11 Nation the right to continued use, the liberty to hunt 12 over unoccupied lands, to carry on our fisheries as 13 formerly. 14 The Douglas Treaty has been held up 15 through Court cases as being valid and binding on the 16 Crown governments. This means that the federal and 17 provincial governments are obliged by law to provide 18 access to resources as formerly. 19 The question today and moving forward 20 is what do the Nation’s rights mean if resources to 21 hunt and fish are not available due to urban 22 development and forest fisheries management. That is 23 the challenge of current discussions. 24 Esquimalt and Songhees Nations have 25 historically comprised the Lekwungen Nation of 613-521-0703 StenoTran www.stenotran.com 4435 1 occupied and utilized lands, waters and resources 2 around present-day Victoria and San Juan Islands. 3 Although we inhabit and utilize resources from the 4 land, we have always been ocean people. Our 5 territorial waters have sustained us through resources 6 and have been our highways, serving as trade routes 7 and connecting us to relatives on the San Juan Islands 8 and Washington State. 9 Stemming from that use and occupation, 10 Esquimalt has constitutionally-protected Douglas 11 Treaty rights and Aboriginal rights, including 12 Aboriginal title. 13 Containers from the project will pass 14 through our traditional territory and have the 15 potential impact on us. 16 We are especially concerned about the 17 impacts of fuel spill –- impacts a fuel spill would 18 have on our Aboriginal title and treaty rights, the 19 ocean, fish, aquatic plants, wildlife, migratory birds 20 that rely on the marine environment, which we have, as 21 I said, Aboriginal treaty rights to harvest. 22 Our shorelines, our traditional lands, 23 our sacred sites, our traditional ceremony and 24 practices, the health of our people, the economic 25 interests and our culture. 613-521-0703 StenoTran www.stenotran.com 4436 1 As previously noted, the ocean and its 2 resources are essential to our culture and way of 3 life. Harm to them is to harm us and our culture. 4 We do not want to see an increase in 5 container traffic through our traditional territory 6 but feel such increase is inevitable. As such, we 7 have taken steps to share in wealth generated from 8 tankers and containers passing through our traditional 9 territories to minimize the impacts of those tankers 10 and containers on environment and our culture. 11 Cumulative effects. Over the past 12 number of years there has been a growing body of 13 evidence that the ocean and our resources are 14 suffering from extensive environmental deterioration. 15 Collapsing steelhead, Chinook and resident killer 16 whale population are just three examples that suggest 17 an imbalance in the marine environment and real 18 long-term problem with health of the sea.

    Trans Mountain Pipeline (ULC) Section 49.0 Trans Mountain Expansion Project Environmental Net Benefits Reply Evidence OH-001-2014 49.0 ENVIRONMENTAL NET BENEFITS 1 As indicated in the PCA written evidence, Trans Mountain is committed to reviewing net benefit 2 ideas presented by the PCA as a result of the potential impacts of the proposed reactivation 3 activities in Jasper National Park. Activities that cannot be fully mitigated or areas restored in 4 accordance with the agreed to Management Objectives and Desired End Results will be 5 reviewed in the context of net benefit opportunities. One of the net benefits arising from 6 construction of the TMX Anchor Loop Project in Jasper National Park from 2006 to 2008 was 7 the automation of specific main line block valves on the legacy pipeline, which will occur as part 8 of the reactivation activities for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project. At the time, this was 9 considered to be a key benefit to PCA and would be realized should the TMEP proceed. 10 Furthermore, in Trans Mountain’s response to NEB IR No. 2.042 (Filing ID A3Z4T9), one of the 11 goals of the Project is to mitigate the loss of native biodiversity and integrity of ecosystems in 12 the regions of the four British Columbia provincial parks and one recreation area through which 13 the pipeline corridor would pass. The Project shall strive to produce a net benefit to native 14 biodiversity and ecological integrity in those regions. Trans Mountain proposes to identify and 15 undertake an offset project, or a suite of projects, in order to produce a measurable ecological 16 benefit of a comparable nature and extent, so as to result in no net loss of native biodiversity 17 and ecological integrity on a regional basis.

We are appreciative of the data collection that has been happening but feel that there is a need for more information, especially in light of the fact that that the first period of the protocol coincided with an unprecedented number of delays in the arrival of commodities by train to the Port of Vancouver, resulting in very high congestion at anchorages in the port and along the south coast. We understand that the National Anchorages Initiative under the Ocean Protection Plans continues to examine long-term solutions. As information becomes available, we would appreciate more information about the plan for anchorages after the expiry of the Interim Anchorages Protocol. There are many First Nations who have asserted Aboriginal interests in the Salish Sea region and many who have established harvesting rights; although we have copied First Nations on this letter, we have not directly heard their positions on the interim protocol.

This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. Co-Supervisors: Drs. Nancy J. Turner and Patrick von Aderkas ABSTRACT Bulbs of camas (Camassia leichtlinii and C. quamash; Liliacaeae) were an important native root vegetable in the economies of Straits Salish peoples. Intensive management not only maintained the ecological productivity of &us valued resource but shaped the oak-camas parklands of southern Vancouver Island. Based on these concepts, I tested two hypotheses: Straits Salish management activities maintained sustainable yields of camas bulbs, and their interactions with this root resource created an extensive cultural landscape. I integrated contextual information on the social and environmental histories of the pre- and post-European contact landscape, qualitative records that reviewed Indigenous camas use and management, and quantitative data focused on applied ecological experiments. I described how the cultural landscape of southern Vancouver Island changed over time, especially since European colonization of southern Vancouver Island. Prior to European contact, extended families of local Straits Salish peoples had a complex system of root food production; inherited camas harvesting grounds were maintained within this region.
